Aura soave

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG FRE

Aura soave di segreti accenti
Che penetrando per l'orecchie al core
Svegliasti la dove dormiva Amore
Per te respiro e vivo
Da che nel petto mio
Spirasti tu d'Amor vital desio
Vissi di vita privo
Mentre amorosa cura in me fu spenta
Hor vien che l'alma senta
Virtu di quel tuo spirto gentile
Felice vita oltre l'usato stile.

Doux souffle

Language: French (Français) after the Italian (Italiano)

Doux souffle d'accents secrets
Qui en pénétrant par mes oreilles jusqu'à mon cœur
Éveille l'amour qui dormait là ;
Par toi je respire et je vis,
Depuis que dans mon sein
tu as soufflé le désir vital de l'amour.
Je vivais privé de vie
Tant que le soin de l'amour était éteint,
Viens maintenant que mon âme ressente
La vertu de ton esprit plein de douceur,
La vie heureuse au delà de la vie commune.
