    BRINDISI
    Giuseppe Verdi – LA TRAVIATA

    Libiamo, libiamo ne’lieti calici
    che la belleza infiora.
    E la fuggevol ora s’inebrii
    a voluttà.
    Libiamo ne’dolci fremiti
    che suscita l’amore,
    poiché quell’ochio al core omnipotente va.
    Libiamo, amore fra i calici
    più caldi baci avrà.

    Tra voi tra voi saprò dividere
    il tempo mio giocondo;
    Tutto è follia nel mondo ciò
    che non è piacer.
    Godiam, fugace e rapido
    e’il gaudio dell’amore,
    e’un flor che nasce e muore,
    ne più si può goder.
    Godiam c’invita un fervido
    accento lusighier.

    (Godiamo, la tazza e il cantico
    la notte abbella e il riso;
    in questo paradiso ne sopra il nuovo dì.)

    La vita è nel tripudio
    quando non s’ami ancora.
    Nol dite a chi l’ignora,
    e’ il mio destin così …

    Godiamo, la tazza e il cantico
    la notte abbella e il riso;
    in questo paradiso ne sopra il nuovo dì. THE DRINKING SONG

    Let us drink from the goblets of joy
    adorned with beauty,
    and the fleeting hour shall be adorned
    with pleasure.
    Let us drink to the secret raptures
    which love excites,
    for this eye reigns supreme in my heart…
    Let us drink, for with wine
    love will enjoy yet more passionate kisses.

    With you I can spend
    the time with delight.
    In life everything is folly
    which does not bring pleasure.
    Let us be happy, fleeting and rapid
    is the delight of love;
    it is a flower which blooms and dies,
    which can no longer be enjoyed.
    Let us be happy, fervent
    and enticing words summon us.

    (Be happy … wine and song
    and laughter beautify the night;
    let the new day find us in this paradise.)

    Life is nothing but pleasure,
    as long as one is not in love.
    Don’t say that to one who is ignorant.
    That is my fate …

    Be happy … wine and song
    and laughter beautify the night;
    let the new day find us in this paradise
