English Translation
Who could Doretta's beautiful dream
ever guess?
Her mystery how come it's never
how come it's never ending
Alas! One day a student
kisses her on the lips
and it was such a kiss revelation:
It was passion!
Crazy love!
Crazy intoxication!
Who could this subtle carress
of such flaming a kiss ever describe;
Ah! my dream!
Ah! my life!
Who cares about riches
if it finally flourishes happiness!
Oh golden dream to be able to love like this!
Libretto: Giuseppe Adami
