Testo in italiano di: Alberto Cavaliere
Testo Originale e Musica di: Wayne Shanklin
Quel tuo dolce volto m’apparì
destando nel mio cuor
un sogno d’estasi,
come l’angelo dell’amor.
Ma poi cuor d’amante mai sentì
inganno più crudel;
bugiarda e perfida,
solo un démone sei tu:
JEZEBEL, o JEZEBEL!
Sembravi discesa dal ciel
ed eri – JEZEBEL, JEZEBEL! –
simile a un angelo.
La voce d’un usignol
– JEZEBEL! – trascinò
l’anima credula.
demonio dagli occhi blu,
creder volle il cuor
a quella tua bocca
che dava la voluttà.
JEZEBEL, JEZEBEL!
Anulla so creder più,
m’hai fatto odiar il ciel,
JEZEBEL, angelo e démone…
…Ed ancor voglio te,
JEZEBEL, JEZEBEL, JEZEBEL!
TESTO ORIGINALE
Jezebel
‘Twould be better had I never know
a lover such as you
Forsaking dreams and all
for the siren call of your arms.
Like a demon love posessed me, you
absess me constantly
What evil star is mine
that my fates design should be
JEZEBEL.
If ever the devil was born
without a pair of horns it was you
JEZEBEL it was you.
If ever an angel fell
JEZEBEL it was ypu
JEZEBEL it was you.
If ever a pair of eyes
promise paradise
Deceiving me, grieving me,
leaving me blue
JEZEBEL it was you.
If ever the devil’s plan
was made to torment man
it was you JEZEBEL it was you.
…Night and day ev’ry way
JEZEBEL, JEZEBEL, JEZEBEL.
