Lyrics and translation Luciano Pavarotti - E lucevan le stelle (Tosca Atto III)




E lucevan le stelle (Tosca Atto III)
And the Stars Were Shining (Tosca Act III)
E lucevan le stelle
And the stars were shining
Ed olezzava la terra
And fragrant was the earth
Stridea l'uscio dell'orto
The garden gate creaked
Un passo sfiorava la rena
A step brushed 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,
As I trembling,
Le belle forme disciogliea dai veli.
Unveiled her beautiful figure.
Svanì per sempre il sogno mio d'amore
My dream of love has vanished forever
L'ora è fuggita
The hour has fled
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 life!





Writer(s): Giacomo Puccini, Nigel Wright, Luigi Illica, Giuseppe Giacosa, Simon Lee
