Lyrics and translation Luciano Pavarotti feat. Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & Leone Magiera - "E lucevan le stelle"




"E lucevan le stelle"
"And the stars were shining"
E lucevan le stelle
And the stars were shining
Ed olezzava la terra
And the earth was fragrant
Stridea l'uscio dell'orto
The orchard gate creaked
E un passo sfiorava la rena
And a footstep skimmed the sand
Entrava ella, fragrante
She entered, fragrant
Mi cadea fra le braccia
She fell into my arms
Oh! Dolci baci, oh languide carezze
Oh! Sweet kisses, oh languorous caresses
Mentr'io fremente le belle forme disciogliea dai veli!
As I tremblingly freed her beautiful form from her veils!
Svanì per sempre il sogno mio d'amore
My dream of love has vanished forever
L'ora è fuggita, e muoio disperato!
The hour has fled, 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 life!
