I do not have translations for all the songs above, although here ones for the last three: _____________ Dove Sono
Where are the lovely moments Of sweetness and pleasure? Where have the promises gone That came from those lying lips? Why, if all is changed for me Into tears and pain, Has the memory of that goodness Not vanished from my breast? Ah! if only, at least, my faithfulness, Which still loves amidst its suffering, Could bring me the hope Of changing that ungrateful heart! _____________ O mio babbino caro
My dear father, I like him, he's beautiful, beautiful; I want to go to Porta Rossa and buy the ring! Yes, yes, I want to go! And if my love is in vain, I would go upon Ponte Vecchio [the old Bridge in Florence], only to jump in the Arno I long for him and torment myself O God, I'd like to die! Father, have pity, have pity! _______________ Vissi d'arte
I lived for art; I lived for love Never did I harm a living creature! Whatever misfortunes I encountered, I sought with secret hand to succour. . . Always in pure faith My prayers rose in chapels, Ever in pure faith, I brought flowers to the alters. In this, my hour of pain, why, why, oh Lord, why do you repay me like this?
Jewels I brought for the Madonna's mantle and songs for the stars in heaven that they shone forth with greater radiance. In this hour of distress, why, why, oh Lord, do you repay me like this? _____________
Best of luck with your recital :)
-Kate
