Text & Translation
Deh, vieni alla finestra
Italian source:
Lorenzo Da Ponte
Deh, vieni a consolar il pianto mio.
Se neghi a me di dar qualche ristoro,
Davanti agli occhi tuoi morir vogl’io!
Tu ch’hai la bocca dolce più del miele,
Tu che il zucchero porti in mezzo al core!
Non esser, gioia mia, con me crudele!
Lasciati almen veder, mio bell’amore!
Oh, Come to the Window

Oh, come to console my tears.
If you refuse me some relief
Before your eyes I want to die!
You've got a mouth sweeter than honey
You, that keep sugar inside your heart!
Don't be cruel to me, my joy!
Show yourself at least, my dear love!

Deh, vieni alla finestra, o mio tesoro,
Oh, come to the window, my darling
Deh, vieni a consolar il pianto mio.
Oh, come to console my tears.
Se neghi a me di dar qualche ristoro,
If you refuse me some relief
Davanti agli occhi tuoi morir vogl’io!
Before your eyes I want to die!
