Description:
Luciano Pavarotti in his prime!
This recording was made prior to 1974 and is taken from a Decca vynil LP.
English translation of the lyrics
The Charm (or The Spell)
What was there in the flower that you gave me?
Maybe a potion, a mysterious power!
In touching it, my heart trembled,
The perfume has disturbed my thoughts!
In the ethereal movement that you have,
Perhaps an enchantment comes with you?
The air through which you go vibrates,
A flower blooms where your foot passes!
I ask not what blessed place
Was your home until now!
I ask you not if you are a nymph, a fairy,
If a pale spirit.
But what is there in your fatal glance?
What do you have in your magic voice?
If you look at me, intoxication assails me,
If you speak to me, I feel myself die!

Jun 25, 2011 - This doesn't sound like Pavarotti to me. Compare with his voice and singing style in Bing Gala in 1972. There's that video on youtube. Type up "Sutherland / Pavarotti - Lucia."
