Chi il bel sogno di Doretta
Potè indovinar?
Il suo mister come mai
Come mai fini?
Ahimè! Un giorno uno studente
In bocca la baciò
E fu quel bacio rivelazione
Fu la passione!
Folle amore!
Folle ebbrezza!
Chi la sottil carezza
D'un bacio così ardente
Mai ridir potrà?
Ah! Mio sogno!
Ah! Mia vita!
Che importa la ricchezza
Se alfine è rifiorita
La felicità?
O sogno d'or
Poter amar così!

I wish I was in Carrickfergus
Where the castle looks out to sea
I would swim over the deepest ocean
Where my true love waits for me
But the sea is wide and I can not swim over
Nor have I the wings to fly
I wish I had a handsome boatman,
To ferry me over where I will die
I close my eyes and I see my homeland
Where the mountain meets the sea
Where flowers blossom as I do remember
My heart now aching in sweet memory
But the sea is wide and I can not swim over
Nor have I the wings to fly
Ah to be back now in Carrickfergus
On that long road down to the sea
Where I'll spend my days in endless roaming
Where the grass is soft and my mind is free

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the endless skies
The first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move through my hands
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
Je savais que la première fois
Serait la dernière pour moi
Et j'ai envie de parler au ciel
Dites-lui de m'aimer toujours, mon Dieu
Dites-lui de m'aimer toujours
La première est la dernière fois
La première est la dernière, dernière fois

Les chemins qui vont à la mer
Ont gardé de notre passage
Des fleurs effeuillées
Et l’écho sous leurs arbres
De nos deux rires clairs
Hélas! des jours de bonheur
Radieuses joies envolées
Je vais sans retrouver traces
Dans mon coeur
Chemins de mon amour
Je vous cherche toujours
Chemins perdus, vous n’êtes plus
Et vos échos sont sourds
Chemins du désespoir
Chemins du souvenir
Chemins du premier jour
Divins chemins d’amour
Si je dois l’oublier un jour
La vie effaçant toute chose
Je veux dans mon coeur qu’un souvenir
Repose plus fort que l’autre amour
Le souvenir du chemin
Où tremblante et toute éperdue
Un jour j’ai senti sur moi brûler tes mains
Chemins de mon amour
Je vous cherche toujours
Chemins perdus, vous n’êtes plus
Et vos échos sont sourds
Chemins du désespoir
Chemins du souvenir
Chemins du premier jour
Divins chemins d’amour

The Music of the Night
04:57
|

Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
Slowly, gently, night unfurls it's splendor
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Turn your throughts away from cold, unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams
Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before
Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar
And you'll live as you've never lived before
Softly, deftly music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it secretly possess you
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness that you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night
Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world
Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before
Let your soul take you where you long to be!
Only then can you belong to me
Floating, falling, sweet Intoxication
Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation
Let the dream begin, let the darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night!
You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night

Lascia ch'io pianga
Mia cruda sorte
E che sospiri
La libertà
Lascia ch'io pianga
Mia cruda sorte
E che sospiri
La libertà
E che sospiri
E che sospiri
La libertà
Lascia ch'io pianga
Mia cruda sorte
E che sospiri
La libertà
Il duolo infranga
Queste ritorte
De' miei martiri
Sol per pietà
De' miei martiri
Sol per pietà
Lascia ch'io pianga
Mia cruda sorte
E che sospiri
La libertà

Addio, del passato bei sogni ridenti
Le rose del volto già sono pallenti
L'amore d’Alfredo perfino mi manca
Conforto, sostegno dell'anima stanca
Conforto
Sostegno
Ah, della traviata sorridi al desio
A lei, deh, perdona
Tu accoglila, o Dio
Le gioie, i dolori tra poco avran fine
La tomba ai mortali di tutto è confine!
Non lagrima o fiore avrà la mia fossa
Non croce col nome che copra quest’ossa!
Non croce
Non fiore
Ah, della traviata sorridi al desio
A lei, deh, perdona
Tu accoglila, o Dio!
Ah tutto, tutto finì
Or tutto, tutto finì!
