Dal labbro il canto estasïato vola, Fenton's aria from Falstaff

Dal labbro il canto estasïato vola	From the lips the song in ecstasy flies
Pei silenzi notturni e va lontano	Thru the silences nocturnal and goes far
E alfin ritrova un altro labbro umano	And at last it discovers another human lip 
Che gli risponde colla sua parola.	that answers it with its word.

Allor la nota che non è più sola	The note which isn't any longer alone
Vibra di gioia in un accordo arcano	vibrates with joy in a chord secret 
E innamorando l'aer antelucano		and enamoring the air before dawn 
Con altra voce al suo fonte rivola.	with another voice to its source flies back.

Quivi ripiglia suon, ma la sua vura	There it regains sound, but its concern 
Tende sempre ad unir chi lo disuna	tends always to unite who disunites it.
Così baciai la disïata bocca!		Thus I kissed the desired mouth!
Bocca baciata non perde ventura.	Mouth kissed doesn't lose luck...
Ma il canto muor nel bacio che lo tocca. But the song dies in the kiss that touches it.
