lyrics

I. Canto

Piange il suo dolce amore un augel vedovo
su’l ramoscello gelido;
il freddo vento in alto in alto fluttua,
in basso il fiume tremola.

Nel bosco ignudo non v’ha fior, non foglia;
niun palpito è nell’aura;
sol della ruota del mulino il murmure
rompe la solitudine.

A widow bird sate mourning for her Love

Upon a wintry bough;

The frozen wind crept on above,

The freezing stream below.



There was no leaf upon the forest bare,

No flower upon the ground,

And little motion in the air

Except the mill-wheel's sound.
