Ah, mai non cessate

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG

Ah, mai non cessate dal vostro parlar,
o labbra desiate ond'io folle vo'
col miel delle vostre parole vo' far
un dolce guanciale su cui dormirò.

O sonni beati da niun mai sognati
che su quel guanciale dormendo farò,
dormendo e sognando, vicino al tuo cor,
il dolce, desiato mio sogno d'amor.
Ah! dormendo, sognando, sognando d'amor!

Ah, never cease

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

 Ah, never cease from  your talking,
 oh desired lips which I madly want;
 with your words I want to make
 a sweet pillow on which I will sleep.
 
 Oh blessed dreams that no one ever dreamed,
 that, sleeping on that pillow, I will make;
 sleeping and dreaming, close to your heart,
 the sweet, desired dream of love.
 Ah! Sleeping, dreaming of love!
