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.
