“Quella fiamma che m’accende”, originally attributed to Benedetto Marcello, is now considered in many circles to be the work of Francesco Bartolomeo Conti. This richly melodic and sultry piece has invited singers for ages to bring out the passion in its musical lines.

Here are the “Quella fiamma che m’accende” lyrics and “Quella fiamma che m’accende” translation, as well as representative performances in several voice types.

Quella fiamma che m’accende lyrics

Il mio bel foco,
O Iontano o vicino
Ch’esser poss’io,
Senza cangiar mai tempre
Per voi, care pupille,
Arderà sempre.

Quella fiamma che m’accende
Piace tanto all’alma mia,
Che giammai s’estinguerà.
E se il fato a voi mi rende,
Vaghi rai del mio bel sole,
Altra luce ella non vuole
Nè voler giammai potrà.

***

My beautiful fire (of love),
Whether far or near,
never changing,
for you, dear eyes,
will always be burning.

That flame which kindled me
is so pleased with my soul
that it will never be extinguished.
And if fate entrusts me to you,
lovely rays of my beloved sun,
my soul will never be able
to long for any other light.
