| E lucean le stelle…
| And the stars shone ...
|
| e olezzava la terra…
| and smelled the earth ...
|
| stridea l’uscio dell’orto…
| the door of the garden screeches ...
|
| e un passo sfiorava la rena.
| and one step touched the sand.
|
| Entrava ella, fragrante,
| She entered, fragrant,
|
| mi cadea tra le braccia.
| it fell into her arms.
|
| Oh dolci baci, o languide carezze,
| Oh sweet kisses, or languid caresses,
|
| mentr’io fremente
| while I quiver
|
| le belle forme disciogliea dai veli!
| the beautiful forms dissolve from the veils!
|
| Svan? | Svan? |
| per sempre
| forever
|
| il sogno mio d’amore…
| my dream of love ...
|
| L’ora? | Time? |
| fuggita,
| fled,
|
| e muoio disperato…
| and I die in despair ...
|
| e muoio disperato…
| and I die in despair ...
|
| E non ho amato mai tanto la vita!
| And I've never loved life so much!
|
| Tanto la vita…
| So much life ...
|
| Tanto la vita…
| So much life ...
|
| And the stars were shining the earth
| And the stars were shining the earth
|
| wa sfragrant the garden gate
| wa sfagrant the garden gate
|
| creaked and a footstep brushed the sand.
| creaked and a footstep brushed the sand.
|
| She entered, fragrant,
| She entered, fragrant,
|
| and fell into my arms …
| and she fell into my arms ...
|
| Oh sweet kisses, oh languid caresses
| Oh sweet kisses, oh languid caresses
|
| and I, quivering,
| and I, quivering,
|
| unveiled those beautiful shapes!!!
| unveiled those beautiful shapes !!!
|
| Disappeared forever my love’s dream
| Disappeared forever my love's dream
|
| The hour is gone…
| The hour is gone…
|
| And I, desperately, die!
| And I, desperately, die!
|
| And I’ve never loved so much my life | And I’ve never loved so much my life |
