Lyrics
Vieni dal Libano mia sposa, vieni dal Libano vieni!
(Come from Lebanon, my bride, come from Lebanon, come!)
Avrai per corona le vette dei monti,
(You shall have the heights of the mountains for your crown,)
Le alte cime dell’Ermon.
(The lofty peaks of Hermon.)
Tu m’hai ferito, ferito il cuore,
(You have ravished my heart, my sister, my bride.)
O sorella mia sposa.
(My sister, my bride.)
Vieni dal Libano mia sposa,
(Come from Lebanon, my bride,)
Vieni dal Libano vieni.
(Come from Lebanon, come.)
Chorus:
Cercai l’amore dell’anima mia,
(I sought him whom my soul loves,)
Lo cercai senza trovarlo.
(I sought him but did not find him.)
Trovai l’amore dell’anima mia,
(I found him whom my soul loves,)
L’ho abbracciato e non lo lascerò mai!
(I held him and will never let him go!)
Io appartengo al mio diletto
(I belong to my beloved,)
Ed egli è tutto per me.
(And he is all mine.)
Vieni usciamo alla campagna,
(Come, let us go out into the fields,)
Dimoriamo nei villaggi.
(Let us lodge in the villages.)
Andremo all’alba nelle vigne,
(Let us go out early to the vineyards,)
Vi raccoglieremo i frutti.
(And there we will gather their fruits.)
Io appartengo al mio diletto
(I belong to my beloved,)
Ed egli è tutto per me.
(And he is all mine.)
