Intorno all’idol mio lyrics
Intorno all’idol mio spirate pur, spirate,
Aure, aure soavi e grate,
E nelle guancie elette
Baciatelo per me,
Cortesi, cortesi aurette!
Al mio ben, che riposa
Su l’ali della quiete,
Grati, grati sogni assistete
E il mio racchiuso ardore
Svelate gli per me,
O larve, o larve d’amore!
***
Around my idol
Breathe, merely breathe,
Winds sweet and gracious
And on the favored cheeks
Kiss him for me, courtly breezes!
In my love who rests
On the wings of peace
Pleasant dreams provoke.
And my hidden ardor
Reveal to him for me
O spirits of love.
