Le nozze di Figaro, K. 492: Non so piu cosa son, cosa faccio - Marilyn Schmiege, Sir Colin Davis, Вольфганг Амадей Моцарт

CHERUBINO

Non so più cosa son, cosa faccio

Or di foco, ora sono di ghiaccio

Ogni donna cangiar di colore

Ogni donna mi fa palpitar

Solo ai nomi d’amor, di diletto

Mi si turba, mi s’altera il petto

E a parlare mi sforza d’amore

Un desio ch’io non posso spiegar

Parlo d’amor vegliando

Parlo d’amor sognando

All’acque, all’ombre, ai monti

Ai fiori, all’erbe, ai fonti

All’eco, all’aria, ai venti

Che il suon de' vani accenti

Portano via con sé

E se non ho chi mi oda

Parlo d’amor con me

CHERUB

I no longer know what I am, what I do

Now of fire, now I am of ice

Every woman changes color

Every woman makes me throb

Only to the names of love, of delight

It upsets me, my chest gets upset

And to speak it forces me to love

A desire that I cannot explain

I speak of love while watching

I speak of love while dreaming

In the waters, in the shadows, in the mountains

To flowers, herbs, sources

To the echo, to the air, to the winds

Let the sound of vain accents

They take away with them

And if I don't have anyone who hears me

I speak of love with me
