Well, if you understand the words they aren't exactly that silly and they are not embellished Italian (for no other reason that some of them are in French and some in German). And I happen to think that enjoying some arias out of context reduces the enjoyment you get out of them. Cutting out "vissi d'arte, vissi d'amore" from Tosca, for example, makes it a pretty boring whiny song, instead of a heartbreaking powerful cri de cour.
