Sighs of fire

Pier Francesco Cavalli

Sighs of fire,

That inflame the breezes,

Lightly fly

Around my beloved.

And my harsh pains

Tell to him a little.

Sighs, sighs of fire,

Sighs, sighs of fire!

Light breezes,

Who hear my sorrow,

Carry yourselves in flight

To the breast of the one I adore,

And say that I die

In severe pain,

Breezes, light breezes,

Breezes, light breezes.
