Tosca, Act III: E Lucevan La Stelle(original) |
E lucevan le stelle |
e olezzava la terra, |
stridea l’uscio dell’orto |
e un passo sfiorava la rena. |
Entrava ella, fragrante, |
mi cadea fra le braccia. |
Oh! |
dolci baci, o languide carezze, |
mentr’io fremente |
le belle forme disciogliea dai veli! |
Svanì per sempre il sogno mio d’amore… |
l’ora è fuggita, |
e muoio disperato! |
E non ho amato mai tanto la vita! |
(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, |
it fell into her arms. |
Oh! |
sweet kisses, or languid caresses, |
while I quiver |
the beautiful forms dissolve from the veils! |
My dream of love vanished forever ... |
now she fled, |
and I die in despair! |
And I've never loved life so much! |
