It soared, a bird, it held its flight, a swift pure cry, soar silver orb it leaped serene, speeding, sustained, to come, don't spin it out too long long breath he breath long life, soaring high, high resplendent, aflame, crowned, high in the effulgence symbolistic, high, of the ethereal bosom, high, of the high vast irradiation everywhere all soaring all around about the all, the endlessnessnessness...
If you want to learn Simon's English version, his lyrics are matched below to Caruso's Italian [RealAudio] [direct] (plus the literal translation: qv):
M'appari tutt' amor,
When first I saw that form endearing
(She appeared to me, full of love,)
il mio sguardo l'incontro:
Sorrow from me seemed to depart:
(my eyes caught sight of her;)
bella si che il mio cor,
Each graceful look, each word so cheering
(so beautiful that my heart)
ansioso a lei volo:
Charmed my eye and won my heart.
(flew to her with longing;)
mi feri, m'invaghi
Full of hope, and all delighted,
(wounded me, inflamed me)
quell'angelica belta,
None could feel more blest than I;
(by her angelic beauty)
sculta in cor dall'amor
All on Earth I then could wish for
(which love has engraved in my heart,)
cancellarsi non potra:
Was near her to live and die:
(and which cannot be erased,)
il pensier di poter
But alas! 'twas idle dreaming,
(and the mere thought)
palpitar con lei d'amor,
And the dream too soon hath flown;
(of her responding to my passion)
puo sopir il martir
Not one ray of hope is gleaming;
(can appease the suffering)
che m'affana e stranzia il cor e stranzia il cor
I am lost, yes I am lost for she is gone.
(which distresses me and breaks my heart, and breaks my heart!)
M'appari tutt' amor,
When first I saw that form endearing
(She appeared to me, full of love,)
il mio sguardo l'incontro:
Sorrow from me seemed to depart:
(my eyes caught sight of her;)
bella si che il mio cor,
Each graceful look, each word so cheering
(so beautiful that my heart)
ansioso a lei volo:
Charmed my eye and won my heart.
(flew to her with longing;)
Marta, Marta, tu sparisti
Martha, Martha, I am sighing
(Martha, Martha, you have vanished,)
e il mio cor col tuo n'ando!
I am weeping still, for thee,
(and my heart went with you!)
Tu la pace mi rapisti,
Come thou lost one, Come thou dear one,
(You have stolen my peace of mind,)
di dolor io moriro.
Thou alone can'st comfort me:
(I shall die of grief,)
di dolor morro, ah, morro!
Ah Martha return! Come to me!
(ah! I shall die, shall die of grief!)
