Lyrics of E Lucevan Le Stelle - Giuseppe Di Stefano, Dario Caselli (Gendarme)

E Lucevan Le Stelle (original)

E lucevan le stelle
ed olezzava la terra,
stridea l’uscio dell’orto,
e un passo sfiorava la rena…
Entrava ella, fragrante,
mi cadea fra le braccia…
O dolci baci, o languide carezze,
mentr’io fremente
le belle forme disciogliea dai veli!
Svani per sempre
il sogno mio d’amore…
L’ora

(translation)

And the stars were shining
and smelled the earth,
the door of the garden screeches,
and one step touched the sand ...
She entered, fragrant,
I fell into her arms ...
O sweet kisses, or languid caresses,
while I quiver
the beautiful forms dissolve from the veils!
You vanished forever
my dream of love ...
Time
