Regnava Nel Silenzio
Sarah Brightman
It Was Raining in Silence
Late at night and dark...
The fountain was hit by a pale
Ray of gloomy moonlight...
When a subdued moan
Among the breezes was heard,
And there, on that edge
The shadow appeared to me!
I could see his lips moving
As if speaking,
And with his lifeless hand
It seemed to beckon me.
He stood still for a moment
Then quickly vanished,
And the once so clear wave,
Turned red with blood!
Alisa
Clear, oh heavens! clear and sad
I understand the omens in your words!
Ah! Lucia, Lucia, give up
Such a dreadful love.
Lucia
Me?... what are you saying! To the heart that grieves
This affection is the only hope...
Without Edgardo I couldn't
Breathe for a moment...
He is the light of my days,
And comfort in my suffering
When enraptured in ecstasy
Of the most burning love,
With the language of the heart
He swears eternal faith to me;
I forget my sorrows,
Joy becomes the tears...
It seems that beside him
Heaven opens up for me!
