Felicissimo sonno
Felicissimo sonno
Che ne le luci di madonna vivi
che ne le luci di madonna vivi
E noi di luce privi,
e noi di luce privi,
Deh, con un sogno messaggier le mostra
deh, con un sogno messaggier le mostra
L'afflitta anima nostra;
l'afflitta anima nostra;
che in partir da lei pietà vi resti
fa’ che in partir da lei pietà vi resti
E pietosa si desti.
e pietosa si desti.}}

Most happy sleep,
Most happy sleep,
dwelling in the eyes of my lady
dwelling in the eyes of my lady

when you leave her, let mercy remain in her
when you leave her, let mercy remain in her
so that she awakes inclined to pity.
so that she awakes inclined to pity.

English.png English translation

Most happy sleep,
dwelling in the eyes of my lady
and so depriving us of light,
I beg you, take her a message in a dream
to show her the affliction of my1 soul;
when you leave her, let mercy remain in her
so that she awakes inclined to pity.
Translation by Mick Swithinbank
