Donna non vidi mai (English: I have never seen a woman) is an aria from the first act of Giacomo Puccini's opera, Manon Lescaut.

Libretto

Italian

Donna non vidi mai simile a questa!
A dirle: "io t'amo"
a nuova vita l'alma mia si desta.
"Manon Lescaut mi chiamo!"
Come queste parole profumate,
mi vagan nello spirto
e ascose fibre vanno a carezzare.
O sussurro gentil, deh! non cessare!...
