Adriana Lecouvreur: Poveri fiori - Maria Callas, Джузеппе Верди

Poveri fiori, gemme de' prati,

pur ieri nati.

Oggi morenti, quai giuramenti

d’infido cor!

L’ultimo bacio, o il bacio primo,

ecco v’imprimo,

soave e forte bacio di morte,

bacio d’amor.

Tutto

Poor flowers, buds of the meadows,

even yesterday born.

Today dying, what oaths

of treacherous heart!

The last kiss, or the first kiss,

here I am,

sweet and strong kiss of death,

kiss of love.

All
