📄English translation of Arioso
I love you,
I love you, Olga, as only
a poet's frantic heart
can still be fated to love.
Always, everywhere, one dream alone,
one constant longing,
one insistent sadness!
As a boy I was captivated by you,
when heartache was still unknown;
I witnessed, with tender emotion,
your childish games.
Beneath the grove's protecting boughs
I shared those games.
Ah,
I love you,
I love you with that love
known only to a poet's heart.
For you alone I dream.
for you alone I long,
you are my joy and my suffering.
I love you,
I love you, eternally, and nothing -
not the chilling distance,
the hour of parting, nor pleasure's clamour -
can quench that heart
aflame with love's virgin fire!
I love you! ...
I love you, I love you!
