Come un'ape ne' gioorni d'aprile, Dandini's aria from La Cenerentola

Come un'ape ne' giorni d'aprile		Like a bee that in April days
Va volando leggiera, e scherzosa;	flies lightly and joyful
Corre al giglio, poi salta alla rosa,	runs to the lily, then jumps to the rose
Dolce un fiore a cercare per se;	looking for a sweet flower
Tra la belle m'aggiro, e rimiro :	I stay in the beauty and I look
Ne ho veduto già tante, e poi tante,	and i've seen so many
Ma non trovo un giudizio, un sembiante	but i can't make a decision, nor find a person
Un boccone squisito per me.		who's an exquisite prey for my taste.

(Dico bene?) Son tutte papà		(Right?) They look like their dad!*

Per pietà quelle ciglia abbassate.	Please, those cast down eyes
Galloppando sen va la ragione		make me lose my reason
E fra I colpi d'un doppio cannone	and trapped in the shots of a double cannon
Spalancata la brecchia è di già.	I feel that I'm giving in.
Vezzosa! Graziosa! Son tutte papà	Charming! Pretty! They're just like their dad!*

(Ma al finir della nostra commedia	(But at the end of our comedy,
Che tragedia quì nascer dovrà!)		what a tragedy will be born!)

* note:The sentence is not perfectly clear neither for an italian...

Translation: 1999 Ferdinando Boccazzi Varotto
