Lyrics and translation Giacomo Puccini feat. José Carreras, Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden & Sir Colin Davis - Tosca / Act 3: "E lucevan le stelle"




Tosca / Act 3: "E lucevan le stelle"
Tosca / Act 3: "And the stars shone"
E lucevan le stelle
And the stars shone,
E olezzava la terra
And the earth perfumed.
Strida l'uscio dell'orto
The garden gate creaked,
E un passo sfiorava la rena
And a footstep grazed the sand.
Entrava ella, fragrante
She entered, fragrant,
Mi cadea fra le braccia
She fell into my arms.
Oh! dolci baci, o languide carezze
Oh! Sweet kisses, oh! Languid caresses,
Mentr'io fremente
While I eagerly,
Le belle forme disciogliea dai veli!
Freed her beautiful form from veils.
Svanì per sempre il sogno mio d'amore
My dream of love vanished forever.
L'ora è fuggita
The time has run out,
E muoio disperato
And I die in despair,
E muoio disperato!
And I die in despair!
E non ho amato mai tanto la vita!
And I have never loved life so much!
Tanto la vita!
So much!
