Verdi opera
What does this word mean in the great choral piece "Va, pensiero" from Verdi's Nabucco.
Va, pensiero, sull'ali dorate;
Va, ti posa sui clivi, sui colli,
ove olezzano tepide e molli
l'aure dolci del suolo natal!
Thanks!

The translation is “slopes”. You can search for “Va pensiero”, the choir of the Hebrew in Nabbuco by Verdi, and find the translation of the entire chorus.
