Danza, danza, fanciulla
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE POR SPA
Danza, danza, fanciulla,
al mio cantar;
danza, danza fanciulla gentile,
al mio cantar.
Gira leggera, sottile al suono,
al suono dell'onde del mar.
Senti il vago rumore
dell'aura scherzosa
che parla al core
con languido suon,
e che invita a danzar
senza posa, senza posa,
che invita a danzar.
Danza, danza, fanciulla gentile,
al mio cantar.

Dance, dance, maiden
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
Dance, dance, maiden
To my song;
Dance, dance, gentle maiden,
To my song.
Whirl lightly, quietly to the sound,
To the sound of the waves of the sea.
Feel the delicate mood
Of the playful breezes
That speak to the heart,
With languid sound,
And invite you to dance
Without pause, without pause,
That invite you to dance.
Dance, dance, gentle maiden,
To my song.
