Venus
[THEATRE] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
De tua pulchritudine, que me ledunt misere.
Venus! - I trow'd thou wast my friend -
Professed to Heaven thou wouldst send;
As a disciple of a villain
Didst thou act the tragedienne.
Amor volat undique, captus est libidine.
Venus! - I trow'd thou wast my friend -
Professed to Heaven thou wouldst send;
As a disciple of a villain
Didst thou act the tragedienne.
Iam amore virginali totus ardeo.
Circa mea pectora multa sunt suspiria
De tua pulchritudine, que me ledunt misere.
Tui lucent oculi sicut solis radij,
Sicut splendor fulguris, qui lucem donat tenebris.
The first two lines "Circa mea pectora multa sunt suspiria / De tua pulchritudine, que me ledunt misere" translate to "In my breast there are many sighs because of your beauty, which miserably consumes me." These lyrics reveal the singer's intense infatuation with Venus, the Roman goddess of love, beauty, and desire. The singer seems to be in a state of emotional turmoil due to his overwhelming love for Venus.
The chorus "Venus! - I trow'd thou wast my friend - / Professed to Heaven thou wouldst send; / As a disciple of a villain / Didst thou act the tragedienne." depicts the singer's feelings of betrayal by Venus. The singer thought Venus was his friend and would bring his prayers to heaven, but instead, Venus acted like a disciple of a villain and played the role of a tragic heroine, causing harm to the singer's emotions.
The lines "Iam amore virginali totus ardeo / Amor volat undique, captus est libidine" have a passionate tone to them, translating to "Now I am burning with virgin love / Love flies around everywhere, seized by lust." These lyrics reveal the intensity of the singer's passion, describing his emotions as burning with a pure and innocent love. However, the second line shows that this love has been corrupted by lust, another emotion associated with Venus.
Overall, the lyrics depict a complex and tumultuous relationship between the singer and Venus, with the singer experiencing intense emotions of infatuation, betrayal, and passion.

" A goddess on a mountain top
Was burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name
She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
Well, I'm your Venus
I'm your fire, at your desire
Well, I'm your Venus
I'm your fire, at your desire
Her weapons were her crystal eyes
Making every man mad
Black as the dark night she was
Got what no one else had, whoa!
She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
Well, I'm your Venus
I'm your fire, at your desire
Well, I'm your Venus
I'm your fire, at your desire
She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
Well, I'm your Venus
I'm your fire, at your desire
Well, I'm your Venus
I'm your fire, at your desire. "
