AMOR TI VIETA
(Lori's aria from Fedora)
(Umberto Giordano)

Recorded by :
Plácido Domingo; Mario Lanza; 
Luciano Pavarotti; Grover Washington Jr.


Amor ti vieta de non amar...
La man tua lieve che mi repinge,
Cerca la stretta della mia man:
La tua pupilla esprime: "T'amo"
Se il labbro dice: "Non t'amerò!"

Translatiion by Robert Glaubitz :

Love itself bars you from not loving...
Your light hand that repels me,
Still looks for the stroke of my hand:
Your eyes esclaim: "I love you"
Even when your lips say: "I will not love"
