Antonio Giuliano,Kathryn Lewis, pianoI' vidi in terra angelici costumi "Tre sonetti di Petrarca" music by Franz Liszt (1811-1886)lyrics by Francesco Petrarca (1304-1374) I' vidi in terra angelici costumiI' vidi in terra angelici costumi,e celesti bellezzo al mondo sole;tal che di rimembrar mi giova, e dole:che quant'io miro, par sogni, ombre, e fumi.E vidi lagrimar que' duo bei lumi,ch'han fatto mille volte invidia al sole;ed udì sospirando dir paroleche farian gir i monti, e stare i fiumi.Amor! senno! valor, pietate, e dogliafacean piangendo un più dolce concentod'ogni altro, che nel mondo udir si soglia.ed era 'l cielo all'armonia s'intentoche non si vedea in ramo mover foglia.Tanta dolcezza avea pien l'aer e 'l vento. ENGLISH TRANSLATION:I saw the ways of angels upon the earthI saw the ways of angels upon earth,and heavenly beauty unseen in this world;it brings me both joy and grief to remember it;the more I look, the more it seems a dream, shadows and Vapour.And I saw tears come from those two lovely eyes,which a thousand times have made the sun jealous;and, sighing, I heard words spokenwhich would move mountains and halt rivers.Love, wisdom, courage, compassion and griefmade a sweeter harmony with their tearsthan any heard in the world.and heaven listened so attentively to this harmonythat no leaf was seen to move on any branch.So full of sweetness were the air and the breeze.
