Ah, per sempre...Bel sogno beato, Riccardo's aria from I Puritani

Ah, per sempre io te perdei,   	Oh! Forever I have lost you,
fior d'amore, o mia speranza;  	flower of Love, oh hope of mine;
Ah! La vita che m'avanza      	what's left of my Life
sarà piena di dolor!          	will be filled with pain!
Quando errai per anni ed anni 	When I wandered year after year
in poter della ventura,        	under the power of blind luck,
io sfidai sciagura e affanni  	I challenged calamities and cares
nella speme del tuo amor,     	in the hope of your Love,
io sfidai, ecc..

Bel sogno beato,          	Lovely blessed dream,
di pace e contento,         	of peace and contentment,
o cangia il mio fato,          	either change my fate
o cangia il mio cor.          	or change my heart.
Oh! Come è tormento           	Oh! What torment
nel dì del dolore,             	in that day of sorrow,
la dolce memoria              	the sweet memory
d'un tenero amor.             	of a tender Love.
