Stella del marinar, Laura's aria from La Gioconda

Ho il cor gonfio di lagrime.
Quel lume!Ah! una Madonna!

Stella del marinar! Vergine Santa,
tu mi difendi in quest'ora suprema,
tu vedi quanta passione e quanta
fede mi trasse a tale audacia estrema!
Sotto il tuo velo che i prostrati ammanta
ricovera costei che prega, e trema.
Scenda per questa fervida orazione
sul capo mio, Madonna del perdono,
una benedizion...
O Vergin, su me scenda
la tua benedizion.
