Paolo Tosti, composed "Sogno" in 1886, one of many great Italian 'salon' songs. It was originally written for voice and piano, but has been re-arranged here as a piano solo so that pianists may enjoy playing this masterpiece themselves.
The translated Italian text:
I dreamt that you were on your knees
Like a saint praying to the Lord.
You were looking deep into my eyes,
With a glowing look of love.
You were speaking quietly,
Asking me sweetly for forgiveness.
That she be allowed just one glance,
You begged, curled at my feet.
I stayed silent and, with a strong will,
Fought the irresistible desire.
I had faced martyrdom and death;
Still, I forced myself to say no.
But then your lips touched my face,
And my heart betrayed me.
I closed my eyes, reached out to you;
But I had been dreaming, and that beautiful dream vanished.
