[solo Lyra intro] [female clear voice] **tandem venit amor** (tandem venit amor) **tandem venit amor** (tandem venit amor) Tandem venit amor, qualem texisse pudori quam nudasse alicui sit mihi fama magis. Exorata meis illum Cytherea Camenis attulit in nostrum deposuitque sinum. **tandem venit amor** (tandem venit amor) **tandem venit amor** (tandem venit amor) Exsoluit promissa Venus: mea gaudia narret, dicetur si quis non habuisse sua. **tandem venit amor** (tandem venit amor) **tandem venit amor** (tandem venit amor) Non ego signatis quicquam mandare tabellis, ne legat id nemo quam meus ante, velim, sed peccasse iuvat, vultus componere famae taedet: cum digno digna fuisse ferar **tandem venit amor** (tandem venit amor) **tandem venit amor** (tandem venit amor) ------------------------------------------------ [English translation] Finally, love has come (finally, love has come) finally, love has come (finally, love has come) Finally, love has come, in such a way that it's more of a fame for having revealed it myself than for leaving it to someone else. Goddess Cytherea, moved by my muses, has brought and placed it in my heart. Finally, love has come (finally, love has come) finally, love has come (finally, love has come) Venus has kept her promises: let my joys be told, let it be said that no one has had their own. Finally, love has come (finally, love has come) finally, love has come (finally, love has come) I don't want to entrust anything to sealed letters, that no one can read unless it's mine first, but sinning is enjoyable, gathering appearance for reputation is tiring: let it be said that I was worthy of a worthy one. Finally, love has come (finally, love has come) finally, love has come (finally, love has come)
