About the Operas
by Franz Lehár
MEINE LIPPEN SIE KÜSSEN SO HEIß
GIUDITTA
I don't know myself
why one speaks of love,
when you are near me
look into my eyes and kiss my hands.
I don't know myself
why one speaks of the magic,
that no one resists when they see me
when he walks past me.
But when the red light glows
At midnight hour
And everyone listens to my song
then the reason becomes clear to me:
My lips, they kiss so hot
My limbs are supple and white (soft),
In the stars it is written:
Thou shalt kiss, thou shalt love!
My feet they float away
my eyes they lure and glow
and I dance like in the intoxication that I know
my lips they kiss so hot!
inside my veins
there the blood of the dancer rolls
Because my beautiful mother was
The dance queen in the golden Alcazar.
she was so beautiful
I've often seen her in dreams.
She beat the tambourine to a wild dance
then you saw all eyes glow!
She woke up again in me
I have the same lot.
I dance like them at midnight
And just feel this:
My lips, they kiss so hot!
My limbs are supple and white / soft,
In the stars it is written:
Thou shalt kiss, thou shalt love!
My feet they float away
my eyes they lure and glow
and I dance like I'm intoxicated, because I know
my lips they kiss so hot!
