Lyrics of E Lucevan Le Stelle - Florent Pagny

E Lucevan Le Stelle (original)

E lucevan le stelle
E olezzava la terra
Stridea l’uscio dell’orto
E un passo sfiorava la rena
Entrava ella, fragante
Mi cadea fra le braccia
Oh !
dolce baci, o languide carezze
Mentr’io fremente
Le belle forme disciogliea dai veli !
Svani per sempre il sogno moi d’amore

(translation)

And the stars were shining
And the earth smelled
The door of the garden screeches
And one step touched the sand
She entered, fragrant
It fell into my arms
Oh!
sweet kisses, or languid caresses
I am trembling inside
The beautiful forms dissolve from the veils!
The dream of love vanished forever
