Ho, mia kor', ne batu maltrankvile,
El mia brusto nun ne saltu for!
Jam teni min ne povas mi facile,
Ho, mia kor' !
Ho, mia kor'! Post longa laborado,

Ho, mia kor' !
Approximative translation (mine):
O my heart, don't beat restlessly,
From my breast now don't jump out!

O my heart, after long labour,
Shan't I win at the hour of decision ?
Enough! Quiet your beating,
O my heart !

Yesterday the postman came by but I was sleeping too deep to hear the bell. So today I went to the Post Office and got a splendid 10" by 15" glossy print of the above deviation.
Tomorrow I'll go shop for a frame so I can hang it fittingly in my living room.
I still don't know who was the generous donor, but let him or her know that I'm happy as a songbird.
