Novello cupido - Angelo Branduardi

Novello Cupido fanciul ti cred’io

Che dardi pungenti negli occhi tu porti

E dai mille morti ognor al cor mio

Qual nova sirena mill’alme incatena

Col canto e col guardo ben puote

Col dardo ferir il cor mio

Novello Cupido fanciul ti cred’io

Deh quando mai pace avran queste luci

Se con la tua face che fere che fende

Che strugge che incende la morte m’adduci

Deh volgi lo sguardo, ritieni il tuo dardo

Che se non sei nudo sei ben fero

E crudo ognor al cor mio

Novello Cupido fanciul ti cred’io

Novello Cupid child I believe you

What stinging darts in the eyes you carry

And from a thousand deaths each to my heart

What new siren mill’alme chains

With singing and looking well puote

With the dart I will wound my heart

Novello Cupid child I believe you

Oh, when will these lights ever have peace

If with your face that fere that cleaves

Which pines that sets death on fire

Deh look away, hold your dart

That if you are not naked you are very proud

And raw each to my heart

Novello Cupid child I believe you
