Translation of the song lyrics E lucevan le stelle - Tosca - Luciano Pavarotti, Джакомо Пуччини, Leone Magiera

E lucevan le stelle - Tosca (original)

E lucevan le stelle,
ed olezzava la terra
stridea l’uscio dell’orto
ed un passo sfiorava la rena.
Entrava ella fragrante,
mi cadea tra le braccia.
O dolci baci, o languide carezze,
mentr’io fremente le belle forme disciogliea dai veli!
Svan

E lucevan le stelle - Tosca (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,
she fell into her arms.
O sweet kisses, or languid caresses,
while I quiver the beautiful forms dissolve from the veils!
Svan
