Rigoletto: April Child

The third of four songs from Rigoletto.
Boredom hit me, so I sat down and finally got to these darned things. So many of you requested them, I couldn't let them go undone.
Uh, Ribaldi sang this'un in mostly all Italian. But I've provided the translation below:

Sweet little love
Little Daughter Divine
You're a budding flower
Whose blossoming is near

You are April
But you dream of June
And every passing day
Beauty grows from within you

Dear April child
Are you dreaming of June
Like a tender young flower awaiting summer's bloom?
Sweet April child
In the springtime of youth
What a glorious season
It is yours, let it shine through

Awaken yourself dear child
A bud begins to wake
Deep inside you are already beautiful
Let it grow inside of you

Sweet April Child
It's the spring of your youth
Cherish these precious days
Summer comes all too soon
Dear April child
Still dreaming of June...

Nowadays they would never make a movie about a good rich guy who people thought was bad but was actually good, and helping people, because we as a society have come to the enlightened point where we know all rich people are evil and just abusing the poor.

@kayleegirl1967 Just because one thing means one thing in French doesn't mean it can't mean the same in Italian, LOL. Next time you go blasting your "knowledge" at people about "public mistakes... Check your facts first... Otherwise you look like an idiot.
