by Giovanni Gaeta (1884 - 1961), as E. A. Mario

Serenade
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
Stanotte tranquillo è il mar:
su la sponda lieve mormora…
La luna lontano appar
ed ogni onda vaga tremola…

Tremola qui, nel mio seno, 
la speranza del nostro amor…
Là, sotto il cielo sereno, 
è bello vivere, 
unir nell'estasi 
cuore e cuor…

Deh! non dormire, vieni laggiù, 
tu che soffrire non dovrai più…
Laggiù, verso l'infinito del cielo e del mar, 
per non tornar mai più!

E' questa l'ora d'amar:
ogni amante la desidera…
La bocca vuole baciar, 
e, tremante, bacia e mormora…

Canta l'amor la squisita
Ninna nanna, se stanco è il cor, 
e ne la pace infinita
il cor si smemora
nel dolce fascino
dell'amor…

Deh! non dormire, vieni laggiù, 
tu che soffrire non dovrai più…
Laggiù, verso l'infinito del cielo e del mar, 
per non tornar mai più!
