Com'è Gentil
Gaetano Donizetti
How Kind
How kind
The night in mid-April!
The sky is blue
The moon is unveiled
(The sky is blue, the moon is unveiled)
All is languor
Peace, mystery, love!
My dear, why
Don't you come to me yet?
In the breezes
Of love they form
In the murmuring of the river
You hear sighs
(My dear, why don't you come to me yet?)
My dear, why
Don't you come to me yet?
Why, why
Don't you come to me yet?
Then when I am dead
You will cry
But to bring me back to life
You won't be able
(Then when I am dead, yes, you will cry)
(But to bring me back to life, no, you won't be able)

All is languor

My dear, why
Don't you come to me yet?
Your faithful one
Is consumed by desire
Cruel Nina, cruel Nina
(My dear, why don't you come to me yet?)
Your faithful one
Is consumed by desire
Cruel Nina
You want to see me die
Then when I am dead
You will cry
But to bring me back to life
No, you won't be able
(Then when I am dead, yes, you will cry)
(But to bring me back to life, no, you won't be able)
But to bring me back to life, no, you won't be able
