Puccini: Tosca / Act 1 - Recondita armonia [Tosca] (original)

Dammi I colori…
Recondita armonia di bellezze diverse!
?
bruna Floria, l’ardente amante mia,
E te, beltade ignota
cinta di chiome bionde!
Tu azzuro hai l’occhio
Tosca ha l’occhio nero!
L’arte nel suo mistero
le diverse bellezze insiem confonde:
ma nel ritrar costei
il mio solo pensiero,
ah!
il mio sol pensier sei tu!
Tosca sei tu!

(translation)

Give me the colors ...
Recondite harmony of different beauties!
?
brunette Floria, my ardent lover,
And you, unknown beauty
surrounded by blond hair!
You blue have the eye
Tosca has a black eye!
Art in its mystery
the different beauties confuse together:
but in portraying her
my only thought,
ah!
my only thought is you!
Tosca is you!
