Composer: Giuseppe Verdi
The aria is one of most famous concert pieces for tenors. Was written by Verdi in 1851, and was released (within the Opera) in the “Gran Teatro La Fenice”, Venice. Its meaning “the woman is flighty”, is the Duke of Mantua’s (Il Duca di Mantova) song. Ironically sung by the duke, that is himself an unresponsive “Casanova”. The song was studied with a strong confidentiality, because is incredibly attractive aria, and soon after the song's first open presentation it became popular.

KEY: B major

1. La donna è mobile
Qual piuma al vento,
muta d'accento
e di pensiero.

Sempre un amabile,
leggiadro viso,
in pianto o in riso,
è menzognero.

Refrain
La donna è mobil'.
Qual piuma al vento,
muta d'accento
e di pensier'!

2. È sempre misero
chi a lei s'affida,
chi le confida
mal cauto il cuore!

Pur mai non sentesi
felice appieno
chi su quel seno
non liba amore!

Refrain
La donna è mobil'
Qual piuma al vento,
muta d'accento
e di pensier'!

Woman is flighty.
Like a feather in the wind,
she changes in voice
and in thought.

Always a lovely,
pretty face,
in tears or in laughter,
it's untrue.

Refrain
Woman is flighty.
like a feather in the wind,
she changes in voice
and in thought!

Always miserable
is he who trusts her,
he who confides in her
his unwary heart!

Yet one never feels
fully happy
who from that bosom
does not drink love!

Refrain
Woman is flighty.
Like a feather in the wind,
she changes her words,
and her thoughts!
