Bell'alba foriera from La Favorita by Gaetano Donizetti — Lyrics
Bell’alba foriera
d’un sole novello,
la nostra preghiera
comincia per te.
Del padre del duce
fia il viver più bello,
fia sparso di luce
chi lieti ne fè.
Bell’alba foriera
d’un sole novello,
la nostra preghiera
comincia per te.

About Bell'alba foriera from La Favorita
This unison Italian aria comes from Gaetano Donizetti’s opera La Favorita. The text, a prayer, welcomes a new dawn and the sun, dedicating it to the father of the leader. It speaks of his life being beautiful and full of light, and expresses the hope that he will be happy. The prayer reflects on the father’s hard work and struggles, his sweat and his careful consideration of the future. Despite difficulties, he labours to nourish his children with joy. The imagery of the dawning day suggests a hopeful outlook, with the father’s thoughts fixed on his family.
