Michael Bolton - E Lucevan Le Stelle Lyrics
(tosca)(how the stars seemed to shimmer)E lucevan le stelle,E olezzava la terraStridea luscio dellorto,E un passo sfiorava la rena.Entrava ella, fragrante,Mi cadea fra le braccia.Oh! dolci baci, o languide carezze,Mentrio fremente le belle forme discogliea dai veli!Svani per sempre il sogno mio damore...Lora e fuggita e muoio disperato!E non ho amato mai tanto la vita!SynopsesThe painter cavaradossi has been sentenced to death forHelping to hide an escaped political prisoner. as he awaits his fate, he singsOf the sweet memories of his beloved tosca and his dashed dreams.English translationHow 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 featuresConcealed by her mantle. my dreams of pure love,Forgotten forever! all of its gone now!I die hopeless, despairing, and never beforeHave I loved life like this!
