La Bohème: O Soave Fanciulla
La Bohème: O Soave Fanciulla
O soave fanciulla, o dolce viso
O gentle maiden, so fair and sweet,
Di mite circonfuso alba lunar
Bathed in the gentle light of moon's embrace,
In te ravviso il sogno ch'io vorrei sempre sognar
In thee I find the dream I've wished to meet,
Fremon già nell'anima (ah tu sol comandi, amor!)
Within my soul, emotions stir and soar (ah, only you command, my love!),
Le dolcezze estreme
Sweetest delights abound,
Tu sol comandi amore
Only you command, my love
Fremon nell'anima dolcezze estreme (oh come dolci scendono)
Within my soul, sweetest delights abound (oh, how gentle they descend),
Fremon dolcezze estreme (le sue lusinghe al core)
Sweetest delights abound (her whispers caress my heart),
Nel bacio freme amor (tu sol comandi, amor)
In our kiss, love rages (only you command, my love).
No, per pietà
No, for pity's sake,
(Sei mia)
(you are mine),
V'aspettan gli amici
Your friends await you,
(Già mi mandi via?)
(You are sending me away already?),
Vorrei dir, ma non oso
I would say, but dare not,
(Di')
(Speak),
Se venissi con voi?
May I come with you?
(Che? Mimì!)
(What? Mimì!),
(Sarebbe così dolce restar qui, c'è freddo fuori)
(It would be so sweet to stay here, it's cold outside),
Vi starò vicina
I'll stay close to you,
(E al ritorno?)
(And on your return?),
Curioso!
Curious!
(Dammi il braccio, mia piccina)
(Give me your arm, my little one),
Obbedisco, signor
I obey, sir,
(Che m'ami di')
(Tell me you love me).
Io t'amo
I love you,
Amor! Amor! Amor!
Love! Love! Love!
