who could bring to light
Doretta's glorious dream?
Why has its secret
been disclosed?

Alas! One day a student
kissed her mouth
and that kiss
was a revelation:
It was passion!
Insane love!
Sensual orgy!
The soft caress
of a kiss so ardent,
who will ever be able to express that?

Ah! My dream!
Ah! My life!

What does wealth matter
when at last flourishes
blissful happiness?
Oh golden dream
to be able to love like that!
