Una Furtiva Lagrima (Donizetti)

...Un solo instante i palpiti (2:10-2:17)
If only for a moment I could feel her heart beating against mine

Del suo bel cor sentir (2:18-2:25)
I miei sospir, confondere (2:26-2:37)
Per poco a' suoi sospir (2:38-2:47)
I palpiti, i palpiti sentir (2:48-2:58)
Confondere i miei coi suoi sospir (2:59-3:08)
I drink in her sighs as she mine
Our breaths entwine and we breath as one

Cielo, si puo morir... (3:09-3:16)
Oh, God in heaven, I am content to die from such happiness...
