Tacea la notte placida, Leonora's aria from Il Trovatore

Tacea la notte placida		The night was still and quiet
e bella in ciel sereno		and beautiful in the terse sky
la luna il viso argenteo	the silvery moon
mostrava lieto e pieno...	showed her glad and full face...
Quando suonar per l' aere,	Suddenly the stillness of the night
infino allor sì muto,		was broken by
dolci s' udiro e flebili	weal and sweet harmony -
gli accordi di un liuto,	the notes of a lute -
e versi melanconici		(and a troubador sang
un Trovator cantò.		a melancholy song.)
Versi di prece ed umile		Those verses were humble like the invocation
qual d' uom che prega Iddio	of a man praying to God.
in quella ripeteasi		(In that song 
un nome...il nome mio!		a name was constantly repeated...mine!...)
Corsi al veron sollecita...	So I rushed to the balcony...
Egli era! egli era desso!...	It was him! it was him!...
Gioia provai che agli angeli	I felt the joy that only angels
solo è provar concesso!...	are allowed to feel!...
Al core, al guardo estatico	To my heart, to my blissful glance,
la terra un ciel sembrò.	the earth seemed like Paradise.

Di tale amor, Leonora's aria from Il Trovatore

Di tale amor che dirsi		A love that can
mal può dalla parola,		hardly be put into words,
d' amor che intendo io sola,	a love that only I can understand,
il cor s' inebriò! 		such a love has filled my heart! 
Il mio destino compiersi	My destiny will be fulfilled
non può che a lui dappresso...	only at his side...
S' io non vivrò per esso,	I will live only for him,
per esso io morirò!		if not, I will die for him!

D' amor sull' ali rosee, Leonora's aria from Il Trovatore

Timor di me ?...sicura,			Afraid of me ?...sure,
presta è la mia difesa.			ready is my defence.
I suoi occhi figgonsi ad una gemma 	His eyes are attracted by a stone
che le fregia la mano destra.		she wears on her right hand.
In quest' oscura 			Wrapped in the dark
notte ravvolta, presso a te io son,	night, I am near you,
e tu nol sai...Gemente			and you don't know it...
aura che intorno spiri,			Wailing wind,
deh, pietosa gli arreca 		carry to him, mercifully, my sighs...
	i miei sospiri...

D' amor sull' ali rosee			On the rosy wings of love,
vanne, sospir dolente:			go, pained sighs:
del prigioniero misero			go to alleviate the sick mind
conforta l' egra mente...		of the wretch that lies imprisoned...
Com' aura di speranza 			Like a breeze of hope
aleggia in quella stanza:		linger in that room:
lo desta alle memorie,			wake him up to remembrance,
ai sogni dell'amor!			to dreams of love!
Ma deh! non dirgli improvvido,		Yet do not imprudently
le pene del mio cor!			reveal the woes of my heart!

Tu vedrai che amore, Leonora's aria from Il Trovatore

Tu vedrai che amore in terra	(You will see that never
mai del mio fu più forte;	there was on earth a love stronger than mine;)
vinse il fato in aspra guerra,	it won over destiny in bitter confrontation,
vincerà la stessa morte.	it will win even over death.
O col prezzo di mia vita	So it will, either I shall pay with my life
la tua vita io salverò,		to save yours,
o con te per sempre unita	or eternally united
nella tomba io scenderò.	I shall go to the grave with you.
