Translation of the song lyrics The Pearl Fishers: Mi par d'udir Ancora - Enrico Caruso

The Pearl Fishers: Mi par d'udir Ancora (original)

Mi par d’udire ancora,
o scosa in mezzo ai fior,
la voce sua talora,
sospirare l’amor!
O notte di carezze,
gioir che non ha fin,
o sovvenir divin!
Folli ebbrezze del sogno, sogno d’amor!
Dalle stelle del cielo,
Altro menar che da lei,
La veggio d’ogni velo,
Prender li per le ser!
O notte di carezze!
gioir che non ha fin!
o sovvenir divin!
Folli ebbrezze del sogno, sogno d’amor!
divin sovvenir, divin sovvenir!

The Pearl Fishers: Mi par d'udir Ancora (translation)

It seems I hear once more—
some tremor, veiled amid the bloom—
her voice, in hidden corridors,
breathing love as sighing perfume.
O night of silken caresses,
delight unspooling without cease,
O memory touched by the divine!
Mad rapture flung from dream, a dream of love’s release!
From high where the stars themselves are woven,
no fate but hers draws me through the night,
I see her, through every worldly token,
taking dusk’s veils for flight.
O night of silken caresses!
delight unspooling without cease!
O memory touched by the divine!
Mad rapture flung from dream, a dream of love’s release!
divine remembrance, divine remembrance!
