Lyrics

(Aida)(heavenly aida)

Celeste aida, forma divina
Mistico serto di luce e fior
Del mio pensiero tu sei regina
Tu di mia vita sei lo splendor
Il tuo bel cielo vorrei ridarti
Le dolci breeze del patrio suol;
Un regal serto sul crin posarti
Ergerti un trono vicino al sol, ah!

English translation
Heavenly aida, goddess of beauty
Garland of flowers and of bright light
You are the ruler of all of my thoughts
You are the splendor of my whole life
I'll bring you back, yes, to your lovely skies
To the soft breezes of your native land
I'll place a royal wreath upon your crown
And build you a throne close to the sun!
