Leontyne Price singing “Chi il Bel Sogno di Doretta”, from La Rondine. Ah, what beauty she makes of the human voice!

Chi il bel sogno di Doretta

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!

Doretta’s glorious dream

Who could bring to light
Doretta's glorious dream?
Why has its secret
been disclosed?

Alas! One day a student
kissed her mouth
and that kiss
was a revelation:
It was passion!
Insane love!
Sensual orgy!
The soft caress
of a kiss so ardent,
who will ever be able to express that?

Ah! My dream!
Ah! My life!

What does wealth matter
when at last flourishes
blissful happiness?
Oh golden dream
to be able to love like that!

Text by Giuseppe Adami.

Song first performed in 1917, from the Opera, La Rondine by Giacomo Puccini.

English translation by Bertram Kottmann.
