Risveglio
Song · “Awakening” · 1890
Song Synopsis
Sing to me, bright swallow, from your perch on the balcony, about early dawns, kisses, caresses and loves yet to come. The sweetness of your whispered greeting makes me happy, and I want to brush the sleep from my eyes and sing with you. I wish we could sing the same song. But no; your song pours forth brilliantly. My songs of passionate love have stolen away into her heart. Ah!
