Un’aura amorosa Lyrics
Italian
Un’aura amorosa
Del nostro tesoro
Un dolce ristoro
Al cor porgerà;
Al cor
Da speme, da amore,
Di un’esca migliore
Bisogno non ha.
English translation
A breath of love
From our treasures
Will offer sweet sustenance
To our hearts
A heart nourished
By hope, by love
Has no need
Of a greater lure.
