So Valentine's Day rolled around again - I was a little surprised by how many men I saw dashing last minute for bunches of flowers, as if it had caught them by surprise. Perhaps they feared sharing St.Valentine's fate ...
For my Valentine Titch, I share an aria from my favorite composer of operas:
Caro nome che il mio cor
festi primo palpitar,
le delizie dell'amor
mi dêi sempre rammentar!
Col pensiero il mio desir
a te sempre volerà,
e fin l' ultimo mio sospir,
caro nome, tuo sarà.
festi primo palpitar,
le delizie dell'amor
mi dêi sempre rammentar!
Col pensiero il mio desir
a te sempre volerà,
e fin l' ultimo mio sospir,
caro nome, tuo sarà.
Sweet name, you who made my heart
throb for the first time,
you must always remind me
of the pleasures of love!
My desire will fly to you
on the wings of thought
and my last breath
will be yours, my beloved.
throb for the first time,
you must always remind me
of the pleasures of love!
My desire will fly to you
on the wings of thought
and my last breath
will be yours, my beloved.
