Luci serene e chiare

(Sung text for setting by B. Adolphe)

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: FRE GER

Luci serene e chiare,
Voi m'incendete, voi, ma prov'il core
Nell'incendio diletto, non dolore.
Dolci parole e care,
Voi mi ferite, voi, ma prov'il petto
Non dolor ne la piaga, ma diletto.
O miracol d'Amore!
Alma ch'è tutta foco e tutta sangue
Si strugge e non si duol, mor' e non langue.

Heitere, funkelnde Augen

(Sung text translation for setting by B. Adolphe)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)

Heitere, funkelnde Augen,
ihr entfacht ein Feuer in mir, ihr, doch mein Herz
empfindet Freud’ in diesem Feuer, keinen Schmerz.
Süße, liebe Worte,
ihr verwundet mich, ihr, doch die Brust
empfindet Freud' an dieser Wunde, keinen Schmerz.
O Wunder der Liebe!
Die Seele, die blutet und brennt,
verzehrt sich, ohne zu leiden, stirbt, ohne zu siechen.
