| CAMPANA | ANGELUS |
| Sergio Corazzini | tr. Christine Boothroyd |
Campana dondolante in un cielo di rose, dolci note armoniose, note di bocca amante, tranquille, misteriose voci del dì spirante, campana dolorante per tante pene ascose, io ti sogno, o lontana, su la breve chiesuola! Ti sogno e t'amo tanto! E a sera, pia campana, sale a un cielo di viola il tuo suono e il mio pianto! | The evening bell swaying in a rose-coloured sky - soft graceful notes from the mouth of a lover, calm, mysterious voice of the dying day - a sound aching for so much hidden suffering, I dream of you, remote in your own environment - with love I long for you. And in the evening, religiously, your voice and my sorrow drift upwards into the purple vault of heaven! |
