Il dolce suono [English translation]

The sweet sound of his voice struck me!

Ah, that voice has entered my heart!

Edgardo! I surrender to you, oh my Edgardo!

I have escaped from your enemies.

A chill creeps into my breast!

Every fibre trembles!

My foot falters!

Sit down by the fountain with me a while!

Alas, the tremendous phantom arises and separates us!

Let us take refuge here, Edgardo, at the foot of the altar.

It is scattered with roses!

A heavenly harmony, tell me, do you not hear it?

Ah, the marriage hymn is playing!

They are preparing the rite for us! Oh, how happy I am!

Oh joy that is felt but not said!

The incense is burning!

The holy torches are shining, shining around!

Here is the minister!

Give me your right hand!

Oh joyful day!

At last I am yours, at last you are mine,

A god gives you to me.

Let me share

The greatest pleasures with you,

A smile from merciful heaven,

Life will be ours.
