Village Of Whispers (Hisako's Theme, Killer Instinct)

Song from Donizetti's "Don Pasquale"

“Quel guardo, il cavaliere in mezzo al cor trafisse,
Piegò il ginocchio e disse: ‘Son vostro cavalier.’
E tanto era in quel guardo sapor di paradiso,		
Che il cavalier Riccardo, tutto d'amor conquiso,
Giurò che ad altra mai, non volgeria il pensier."	
Ah, ah!			

So anch'io la virtù magica d'un guardo a tempo e loco,
So anch'io come si brucianoi cori a lento foco,		
D'un breve sorrisetto conosco anch'io l'effetto,	
Di menzognera lagrima, d'un subito languor,		
Conosco i mille modi	dell'amorose frodi,		
I vezzi e l'arti facili	per adescare un cor.		

Ho testa bizzarra, son pronta vivace,	
Brillare mi piace scherzar:
Se monto in furore di rado sto al segno,	
Ma in riso lo sdegno fo presto a cangiar,
Ho testa bizzarra, ma core eccellente!
 
“That glance, it pierced the knight’s heart,
He bent on his knees and said:
‘I am your knight.’
And in that glance there was
Such a taste of heaven,
That the knight Riccardo,
Being conquered by love,
Swore that he would not think to any other woman.”
Ah, ah!

I also know the magic virtue
Of a glance in the right time and place,
I also know how hearts burn on the slow fire,
Of a short smile
I also know the effect,
Of a deceitful tear,
Of an instant languor,
I know the thousand means
Of the love-frauds,
The charms and the easy arts
To seduce a heart.

I have an odd mind,
I have a ready wit,
I like to joke:
If I get angry
I rarely can remain calm,
But I can soon turn indignation in laugh,
I have an odd mind,
But an excellent heart!
