Recondita Armonia is the first romanza in the opera Tosca, by Giacomo Puccini. It is sung by the painter, Mario Cavaradossi, when comparing his love, Tosca, to a lady he was painting.
[edit] Libretto
Cavaradossi: Dammi i colori...

-
- Recondita armonia di bellezze diverse!
- È bruna Floria, l'ardente amante mia.
- E te, beltade ignota, cinta di chiome bionde,
- Tu azzurro hai l'occhio,
- Tosca ha l'occhio nero!
-
-
-
- L'arte nel suo mistero,
- le diverse bellezze insiem confonde...
- Ma nel ritrar costei,
- Il mio solo pensiero,
- Il mio sol pensier sei tu,
- Tosca, sei tu!

English translation:
Cavaradossi: Pass me the colors...
-
-
- Concealed harmony of contrasting beauties!
- Floria, my ardent lover, is dark haired.
- And you, unknown beauty, crowned with blond hair,
- You have blue eyes,
- Tosca has hers black!
-
-
-
- Art, in its mysterious way,
- blends the contrasting beauties together...
- But while I'm painting her,
- My only thought,
- My only thought is of you,
- Tosca, it is of you!
