Coro di zingari [English translation]

See how the clouds melt away

from the face of the sky when the sun shines, its brightness beaming;

just as a widow, discarding her black robes,

shows all her beauty in brilliance gleaming.

So, to work now!

Lift up your hammers!

Who turns the Gypsy's day from gloom to brightest sunshine?

Who turns the Gypsy's day from gloom to brightest sunshine?

Who? Who from gloom to brightest sunshine?

His lovely Gypsy maid!

Fill up the goblets! New strength and courage

flow from lusty wine to soul and body.

See how the rays of the sun play and sparkle

and give to our wine gay new splendor.

So, to work now!

Who turns the Gypsy's day from gloom to brightest sunshine?

Who turns the Gypsy's day from gloom to brightest sunshine?

Who? Who from gloom to brightest sunshine?

His lovely Gypsy maid!
