Sospiri di foco
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Sospiri di foco,
Che l'aure inflammate,
Leggeri volate
Intorno al mio bene.
E l'aspre mie pene
Narrategli un poco.
Sospiri, sospiri di foco,
Sospiri, sospiri di foco!
Aurette leggere,
Che udite il mio duolo,
Portatevi a volo
Al sen di chi adoro,
E dite ch'io moro
In doglie severe,
Aurette, aurette leggere,
aurette, aurette leggere.

Sighs of fire
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Sighs of fire,
That inflame the breezes,
Lightly fly
Around my beloved.
And my harsh pains
Tell to him a little.
Sighs, sighs of fire,
Sighs, sighs of fire!
Light breezes,
Who hear my sorrow,
Carry yourselves in flight
To the breast of the one I adore,
And say that I die
In severe pain,
Breezes, light breezes,
Breezes, light breezes.
