Lyrics & English translation
On the breath of an etesian breeze
scurry, agile shadows
among the branches a bluish-grey glow
of the rising moon has appeared.
Dance! And may the gentle steps
measure a gentle sound,
combining the magical dances
with the song.
Let us wander beneath the moon,
choosing flower by flower;
each crown of petals, in its heart,
brings its good fortune.
With the lilies and the violets,
let us write secret names;
from our enchanted hands
may words blossom...
words illuminated by pure silver
and gold...
Magic incantations and charms.
The Faeries have, for alphabet letters,
flowers.

Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
LA REGINA DELLE FATE
Sul fil d'un soffio etesio
Scorrete, agili larve;
Fra i rami un baglior cesio
D'alba lunare apparve.
Danzate! e il passo blando
Misuri un blando suon.
Le magiche accoppiando
Carole alla canzon.
LE FATE
La selva dorme e sperde
Incenso ed ombra; e par
Nell'aer denso un verde
Asilo in fondo al mar.
LA REGINA DELLE FATE
Erriam sotto la luna
Scegliendo fior da fiore,
Ogni corolla in core
Porta la sua fortuna.
Coi gigli e le viole
Scrivian de' nomi arcani,
Dalle fatate mani
Germoglino parole,
Parole illuminate
Di puro argento e d'or,
Carni e malie. Le Fate
Hanno per cifre i fior.
LE FATE
mentre vanno cogliendo fiori
Moviam ad una ad una
Sotto il lunare albor,
Verso la quercia bruna
Del nero Cacciator.
English Libretto or Translation:
THE QUEEN OF THE FAIRIES
On the edge of a breath of ethesis
Scroll, agile larvae;
Among the branches a cesium glow of
lunar dawn appeared.
Dance on! and the bland pace
Measure a bland sound.
The magic coupled
Carole to the canzon.
THE FAIRIES
The forest sleeps and loses
incense and shadow; e par
In the thick air a green
Asylum at the bottom of the sea.
THE QUEEN OF THE
FAIRIES Wandering under the moon
Choosing blooming flowers,
Each corolla in core
Brings his fortune.
With lilies and violets,
writing of arcane names,
from the enchanted hands
Germoglino words,
Illuminated words
Of pure silver and d'or,
Meats and malie. The fairies
have the flowers in numbers.
THE FATES
as they go picking
Moviam flowers one by one
Under the lunar albor,
Towards the brown oak
Of the black Cacciator.
