E LUCEVAN LE STELLE
E lucevan le stelle The stars twinkled
e olezzava la terra and sweetly smelled the earth,
stridea l´uscio dell’orto, there creaked the gate of the garden,
e_un passo sfiorava la rena. a footstep brushed the sand.
Entrava_ella fragrante, She entered, fragrant
Mi cadea fra le braccia And fell into my arms
Oh! Dolci baci, _o languide carezze, Oh! Sweet kisses, languid caresses
Mentr´io fremente While I, trembling
Le bel..le.. forme disciogliea dai veli! From her beautiful form loosened the veils
Svanì per sempre_il sogno mio d´amore… Gone forever is my dream of love…
L´ora_è fuggita The time has flown
E muoio disperato! And I die desperate
E non ho amato mai tanto la vita! And I have never loved life so much!
