Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tosca / Act 3 : Puccini: Tosca / Act 3 - "E lucevan le stelle" by Luciano Pavarotti from Italian to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
E lucevan le stelle,
And the stars were shining,
Ed olezzava la terra
And oiled the earth
Stridea l'uscio dell'orto
Stridential the door of the garden
E un passo sfiorava la rena.
And a step touched the rein.
Entrava ella fragrante,
She came in fragrantly,
Mi cadea fra la braccia.
Fall into my arms.
O dolci baci, o languide carezze,
O sweet kisses, or languid caresses,
Mentr'io fremente le belle forme disciogliea dai veli!
I tremble the beautiful forms dissolved by the veils!
Svanì per sempre il sogno mio d'amore.
My dream of love vanished forever.
L'ora è fuggita, e muoio disperato!
The hour has fled, and I die in despair!
E muoio disperato! E non ho amato mai tanto la vita!
And I die in despair! And I've never loved life so much!
Tanto la vita!
So much life!
