Misterioso, Altero

From La Traviata

Alfredo:

One day, happy, ethereal, you flitted by me,
and ever since, trembling, I have lived in anonymous love.
That love that's the heartbeat of the universe; the whole universe,
Mysterious, mysterious and exalted,
Torment, torment and delight
Torment and delight, delight to the heart.

Violetta:

If that is true, forget me.
Friendship is all I can offer.
I don't know how to love.
I couldn't feel so great an emotion.
I'm being honest with you, sincere.
You should find somebody else.
Then you wouldn't find it hard
to forget me.
