#MusicMonday – Diva Dance from the Fifth Element

This is an iconic song. As much as “Anyone else want to negotiate?” Or, “Multi-pass.” Which I still say in exactly Leelu’s tone of voice when it comes up. It is sad because only people about my age or older get the joke, which is hilarious because I am damn funny even if it is the 200th time I have said it during my mawage (oops switching movies), and people under my age don’t seem to be watching this iconic movie. This is a shame because it is space opera at its finest.

The Diva Dance in Italian




Il dolce suono mi colpì di sua voce!
Ah, quella voce
M’è qui nel cor discesa!
Edgardo! Io ti son resa.
Edgardo!Ah! Edgardo, mio!
Si, ti son resa fuggita io son da’ tuoi nemici.
Ah nemici!
Un gelo mi serpeggia nel sen!
Trema ogni fibra!
Vacilla il piè!
Presso la fonte meco t’assidi alquanto.
Si, presso la fonte meco t’assidi.




The Diva Dance in English




The sweet sound of his voice has caught me!
Oh that voice
is down here in my heart!
Edgardo! I am yours.
Edgardo!Oh my Edgardo!
Yes, I am yours, I ran away from your enemies.
Oh enemies!
A froze is whirling in my breast!
Every fibre is trembling!
my feet are shaking!
I will stick to the source a while
Yes, close to the source I’ll be for a while.
