Occhi di fata
Andrea Bocelli/London Symphony Orchestra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

O begl'occhi di fata
O begl'occhi stranissimi e profondi
Voi m'avete rubata
La pace della prima gioventù

Bella signora dai capelli biondi
Per la mia giovinezza che v'ho data
Mi darete di più

Ah, sì, voi mi darete dei vostri baci
La febbre e l'ardore
Voi pallida cadrete fra le mie braccia aperte
Fra le mie bracie aperte
E sul mio cor

Della mia gioventù prendete il fiore
Del mio giovine sangue il fiore prendete

Ma datemi l'amor
Ma datemi l'amor

He then asks for her kisses, describing his anticipation and passion to feel her in his embrace and on his heart. The singer then declares that the fairy can take his youth's essence, the flower of his youth and the ardor of his young blood, but in exchange, he pleads for her love.
