E Lucevan Le Stelle - Florent Pagny

E lucevan le stelle

E olezzava la terra

Stridea l’uscio dell’orto

E un passo sfiorava la rena

Entrava ella, fragante

Mi cadea fra le braccia

Oh !

dolce baci, o languide carezze

Mentr’io fremente

Le belle forme disciogliea dai veli !

Svani per sempre il sogno moi d’amore

And the stars were shining

And the earth smelled

The door of the garden screeches

And one step touched the sand

She entered, fragrant

It fell into my arms

Oh!

sweet kisses, or languid caresses

I am trembling inside

The beautiful forms dissolve from the veils!

The dream of love vanished forever
