Where is the magical voice
Gaetano Donizetti
Where is the magical voice,
The magical words
Of the lovely maiden
Dearer to me than the sun?
Why no longer that breath
That intoxicates, that infatuates?
Oh! again her voice
That spoke to me of love!
Let me hear, o heaven! such grace
Let it not be denied to me;
Take away all my goods
All my hope,
And in that supreme joy,
If it is my destiny to die,
In that voice then
Shall I die of love.
