Forse La Soglia Attinse... Ma Se M'È Forza Perderti
Joseph Calleja
Perhaps She Reached the Threshold... But If I Must Lose You
Perhaps she reached the threshold
And finally rests. Honor
And duty have broken between our hearts
The abyss. Ah, yes, Renato
Will see his homeland again... and his wife
Will follow him Without a goodbye, the immense
Sea will separate us... and let the heart be silent
Should I still hesitate? but, oh heavens, shouldn't I?
Ah, I have marked my sacrifice!
But if I must lose you
Forever, my light
My heartbeat will come to you
No matter under which sky you are
Your memory closed
In the depths of my heart
And now like a guilty omen
The spirit assaults me
Announcing the sight of you
Almost like a fatal desire
As if it were the last
Hour of our love
