Pur dicesti, o bocca bella lyrics
Pur dicesti, o bocca bella,
Quel soave e caro sì,
Che fatutto il mio piacer.
Per onor di sua facella
Con un bacio Amor t’aprì,
Dolce fonte del goder, ah!
***
Beautiful mouth, at last you have spoken
that gentle, lovable “yes”
that makes my joy complete.
In his own honor
Love has opened you with a kiss,
o sweet fountain of pleasure.
