Clouds heap upon clouds and it darkens

Clouds heap upon clouds and it darkens.
Ah, love, why dost thou let me
wait outside at the door all alone?
In the busy moments of the noontide work
I am with the crowd, but on this dark lonely day
it is only for thee that I hope.
If thou showest me not thy face,
if thou leavest me wholly aside,
I know not how I am to pass
these long, rainy hours.
I keep gazing on the far-away gloom of the sky,
and my heart wanders wailing
with the restless wind.

Si addensano le nubi
Language:
Italian
Si addensano le nubi ed imbruna.
Amore mio, perché tu mi lasci solitaria
ad attendere fuori dell'uscio?
Quando a mezzogiorno ferve il lavoro sono tra la folla.
Ma in questa giornata oscura e solitaria
in te, solo in te, spero.
Se non mi scopri il tuo volto,
se sempre tu mi lasci in disparte,
io non so come trascorrere
queste lunghe ore di pioggia.
Or guardo sempre il cielo lontano e oscuro
e il mio cuore erra lamentandosi
come il vento che non trova posa.
