I baci
Original Language: Italian
Oh dolci, oh cari, oh desiati baci!
Unite l'alme vanno
sul labro ad incontrarsi.
Col bacio l'alme fanno
nel cor gran colpi darsi.
Vezzosette si accordano;
viperette si mordano.
Ma sono i lor dolcissimi furori
grand union dei cori.
Oh dolci, oh cari, oh desiati baci!
Bacia, mia bocca, e taci!
English
Kisses
Oh sweet, enticing, oh adored kisses:
souls unite
to meet upon lips.
With a kiss souls
wound hearts deeply.
Wantonly they merge,
like vipers they bite each other,
but in their sweetest fury
is a deep union of hearts.
Oh sweet, enticing, oh adored kisses,
kiss my mouth, and be silent.
