Aura soave
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): 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.

Sweet breeze of secret words
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Sweet breeze of secret words,
which, penetrating through my ears to my heart
woke Love, who was sleeping there:
for you I breathe and live
ever since into my bosom
you breathed Love's living desire.
I lived without life
while love's caring was exhausted in me.
Now come, so that my soul may feel,
thanks to your gentle spirit,
life that is happy beyond the usual.
