Una furtiva lagrima [English translation]

A single furtive tear

from her eyes sprang:

Of those festive, young girls

envious it seemed to be.

What more need I look for?

What more need I look for?

She loves me! Yes, she loves me, I see it. I see it.

Just for an instant the beating of

her beautiful heart I felt!

And my sighs became as one

fleetingly with her sighs!

Her heart beating, her heart beating to feel,

our sighs confounded as one...

Heavens! Yes I could, I could die!

More I can't ask, I can't ask.

Oh, heavens! Yes I could! Yes I could die!

More I can't ask, I can't ask.

Yes I could die! If I could die of love.
