Le Rondine: Chi il Bel Sogno di Doretta

Who could guess Doretta's beautiful dream
Its mystery, how
How did it end?

Alas, one day a student
Kissed her on the lips
And that kiss was revelation
It was passion

Mad love, mad ecstasy
Who can describe
The subtle caress
Of such a burning kiss?

Ah, my dream!
Ah, my life!

What does wealth matter
If in the end happiness is reborn
Oh golden dream
To love like this
