Theatre of Tragedy "Venus" lyrics

Venus

Circa mea pectora multa sunt suspiriaDe tua pulchritudine, que me ledunt misere.

Venus! - I trow'd thou wast my friend -Professed to Heaven thou wouldst send;As a disciple of a villainDidst thou act the tragedienne.

Iam amore virginali totus ardeo.Amor volat undique, captus est libidine.

Venus! - I trow'd thou wast my friend -Professed to Heaven thou wouldst send;As a disciple of a villainDidst thou act the tragedienne.

Iam amore virginali totus ardeo.Circa mea pectora multa sunt suspiriaDe tua pulchritudine, que me ledunt misere.Tui lucent oculi sicut solis radii,Sicut splendor fulguris, qui lucem donat tenebris.

Venus

Inside my heart many are the sighsfor your beauty, which gravely grieve me

Venus! - I trusted you were my friend -Pretending to Heaven you were willing to consign¹;like a disciple of a villain,did you make like a tragedienne²?

I'm in love for the first time all ablazedLove flies all around, desire is captive.

Venus! - I trusted you were my friend -Pretending to Heaven you were willing to consign;like a disciple of a villain,did you make like a tragedienne?

I'm in love for the first time all ablazedInside my heart many are the sighsfor your beauty, which gravely grieve meYour eyes shining just like sunbeams,just like thunderbolts, that light the darkness.
