Lungo i cheti sentieri

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG

Lungo i cheti sentieri
il biancospin verdeggia;
dai fiorenti verzieri
la primavera occhieggia.
Vuoi tu meco fuggir?
Vuoi tu meco venir?
Bimba da gl'occhi neri,
lungo i cheti sentieri?

A pie degli alberelli
piovono i fior del melo;
ride ai germi novelli
la cortesia del cielo.
Vuoi tu meco fuggir?
Vuoi tu meco venir?
Bimba da gl'occhi belli,
lungo i cheti sentieri?

Sotto ai soli fulgenti
la selve, ecco, si desta;
e all'aure rinascenti 
amor confida in festa.
Vuoi tu meco fuggir?
Vuoi tu meco venir?
Bimba da gli occhi ardenti,
sotto ai soli fulgenti?

Along the silent paths

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

Along the silent paths
the hawthorn is greening;
through the flourishing verdure
Spring is peeping out.
Do you want to run away with me?
Do you want to come away with me?
Girl with black eyes,
Along the silent paths?









Beneath the brilliant suns
the jungle, then, awakens;
To the resurgent breezes
Love confides merrilly.
Do you want to run away with me?
Do you want to come away with me?
Girl with ardent eyes,
Under the brilliant suns?
