Deh girate luci'amate by Piero Benedetti — Lyrics
Deh girate
luci'amate
pietosetto quel bel guardo
de mi fugge
che mi strugge,
onde n'un m'agghiaccio ed ardo.
O pupille
che tranquille
serenate l'aria intorno,
sara mai
che'i bei rai,
facciam leto un mio giorno sol.
Dolce scocchi
da qua gl'occhi,
piu del sol vaghi et ardenti,
pio splendore
che ristore,
care luc'i miei tormenti.
Deh fiammeggi,
deh lampeggi
in quel labro un dolce riso,

About Deh girate luci'amate
This graceful Italian aria, for solo voice, captures the passionate pleas of a lover. The text speaks of turning those beloved eyes, those radiant pupils, with pity towards the tormented speaker, begging for a glance to brighten their day. The singer implores the eyes to sparkle more brightly than the sun, and the lips to flash a sweet smile, a smile that has captivated their heart. It is a fervent petition for a sign of affection from the beloved, a desire for a response that promises joy, a song filled with the pain and longing of unrequited love, yet hopeful for a tender answer.
