La Bella Addormentata / Sleeping Beauty

sapeva a malapena come esprimere la sua gioia

he scarcely knew how to express his delight

Dichiar di amarla pi di quanto amasse se stesso.

He declared he loved her more than he loved himself

Le sue parole vacillavano, ma lei era particolarmente contenta del suo tentativo.

His words were faltering, but she was especially pleased by his attempt

Meno c' eloquenza, pi c' amore

The less there is of eloquence, the more there is of love

Il suo imbarazzo era inferiore al suo

Her embarrassment was less than his

Ma questo non sorprendente

but that is not surprising

Aveva avuto il tempo di pensare a cosa avrebbe detto

she had had time to think of what she would say

Sembra che la fata buona le abbia permesso sogni piacevoli

It seems the good fairy allowed her pleasant dreams

anche se questo non menzionato nella storia

although this isn't mentioned in the story

e anche dopo quattro ore di conversazione avevano detto solo la met di quello che volevano

and even after four hours of talking they had only said half of what they wanted to
