E l'uccellino
Language: Italian (Italiano)
E l'uccellino canta sulla fronda:
Dormi tranquillo, boccuccia d'amore:
Piegala giù quella testina bionda,
Della tua mamma posala sul cuore.
E l'uccellino canta su quel ramo:
Tante cosine belle imparerai,
Ma se vorrai conoscer quant'io t'amo,
Nessuno al mondo potrà dirlo mai!
E l'uccellino canta al ciel sereno:
Dormi, tesoro mio, qui sul mio seno.

And the little bird
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
And the little bird sings on the branch:
Sleep calmly, Boccuccia my love:
Rest your little, blond head
on your mother's heart.
And the little bird sings on that branch:
You will learn so many beautiful things,
But if you want to know how much I love you,
No-one in the world can ever tell you!
And the bird sings to the serene sky:
Sleep, my treasure, here on my breast.
