E Lucevan Le Stelle lyrics
Song information
Artist: Michael Bolton
Album: My Secret Passion: The Arias
Lyrics
(Tosca)(how the stars seemed to shimmer)
E lucevan le stelle
E olezzava la terra
Stridea l'uscio dell'orto
E un passo sfiorava la rena
Entrava ella, fragrante
Mi cadea fra le braccia
Oh! dolci baci, o languide carezze
Mentr'io fremente le belle forme discogliea dai veli!
Svani per sempre il sogno mio d'amore..
L'ora e fuggita e muoio disperato!
E non ho amato mai tanto la vita!
Synopses
The painter cavaradossi has been sentenced to death for helping to hide an escaped political prisoner. as he awaits his fate, he sings of the sweet memories of his beloved tosca and his dashed dreams
English translation
How the stars seemed to shimmer
The sweet scents of the garden
How the creaking gate whispered
And a footstep skimmed over the sand
How she then entered, so fragrant
And then fell into my two arms!
Ah sweetest of kiss, languorous caresses
While I stood trembling, searching her features
Concealed by her mantle. my dreams of pure love
Forgotten forever! all of it's gone now!
I die hopeless, despairing, and never before
Have I loved life like this!
