Leontyne Price: O patria mia

Leontyne Price
O patria mia

O patria mia, mai più ti rivedrò!
O cieli azzurri... o dolci aure native,
dove sereno il mio mattin brillò...
o verdi colli... o profumate rive...
o patria mia, mai più ti rivedrò!
O fresche valli... o queto asil beato
che un dì promesso dall'amor mi fu...
or che d'amore il sogno è dileguato...
e patria mia, non ti vedrò mai più!


O my country, never more will I see you!
Never more, never more will I see you!
O blue skies, o sweet native breezes,
where the morning of my life shone peacefully,

o green hills, o fragrant river-banks,
o my country, never more will I see you!
Never more! no, no, never more!
O cool valleys, o calm refuge
which one day was promised to me by love,

now that the dream of love has vanished,
o my country, I will see you never more.
O my country, never more will I see you!
