  *++Lyrics:|\\
M'appari tutt' amor;\\
il mio sguardo l'incontró\\
bella si che il mio cor\\
ansioso a lei voló;\\
mi feri, mi rapi\\
quell'angelica belta\\
sculta in cor dall'amor,\\
cancellarsi non potra,\\
il pesier di poter\\
palpitar con lei d'amor;\\
puó soprir ji martir\\
che m'affanna e strazia il cor!\\
\\
Marta. Marta, tu sparisti\\
e ji mio cor con tuo ne andó!\\
u la pace mi rapisti,\\
di dolor jo moriró ah!\\
di dolor morró, al, morró!\\

  *++Lyrics:|\\
In my dream, she is all my own,\\
My joy, my hope in darkest night.\\
She is my love, all I have known,\\
All desire and all delight!\\
Ah, how fair she appears\\
Like an angel from the skies!\\
Ah, how dear is the sight\\
To my lonely, longing eyes!\\
Then how soon she is gone\\
And the dream dies away!\\
At the break of the day\\
I awake! To dream alone!\\
\\
Martha! Martha! Have I lost you\\
And the love we might have known?\\
Do not leave me here without you,\\
Come and be my own, my own!\\
Give me back what you have found,\\
Or share it now with me.\\
