"E' Triste il Mio Cuor" Chopin's "Tristesse" (Etude op 10 no 3 in E major) sung by best living tenor (also one of the three or four best ever), il maestro Carlo Bergonzi.
È triste il mio
cuor senza di te
Che sei lontana
e più non pensi a me,
dimmi perché fai soffrir
quest'anima che t'ama
E ti vuole vicin
Sei tu la vision che ogni sera
Sognar fa il cuor che
nell'amore spera,
ma è un'illusion
Più da me non tornerai
Forse un'altro bacerai
Mentre triste vola la canzon
Che canto a te
Solamente a te
Dolce sogno d'or
Questo vuole il cuor
Triste senz'amor
and by the way, if you like this -- and I really hope you will -- please, please, consider listening to this song on a good sound system. computers don't do justice to Bergonzi's heartbreaking voice.
Wow. Impressive! Never downloaded any of these mp3s from yousendit before, but that was well worth it. And thanks for posting the libretto -- it makes it easier to listen if I can follow along.
