Quando rapito in estasi, Lucia's aria from Lucia di Lammermoor

Quando rapito in estasi        When enraptured in ecstasy
del pił cocente ardore,        by the most burning love,
col favellar del core          and with the language of the heart,
                                             
mi giura eterna fe',           he swears to me eternal faith,
gli affanni miei dimentico,    I forget my troubles,
gioia diviene il pianto....    tears become joy....
Parmi che a lui d'accanto      It seems to me that near him
si schiuda il ciel per me!     heaven opens for me.
