Vola, o serenata: La mia diletta è sola, e, con la bella testa abbandonata, posa tra le lenzuola: O serenata, vola. O serenata, vola. Splende Pura la luna, l'ale il silenzio stende, e dietro i veni dell'alcova bruna la lampada s'accende. Pure la luna splende. Pure la luna splende. Vola, o serenata, Vola, o serenata, vola. Ah! là. Ah! là. Vola, o serenata: La mia diletta è sola, ma sorridendo ancor mezzo assonnata, torna fra le lenzuola: O serenata, vola. O serenata, vola. L'onda sogna su 'l lido, e 'l vento su la fronda; e a' baci miei ricusa ancore un nido la mia signora bionda. Sogna su 'l lido l'onda. Sogna su 'l lido l'onda. Vola, o serenata, Vola, o serenata, vola. Ah! là. Ah! là.

Vuela, oh serenata: mi amada está sola y con la bella cabeza abandonada desacansa entre las sábanas Oh serenata, vuela Oh serenata, vuela Resplancdece pura la luna sus alas el silencio extiende y tras las cortinas de su alcoba una lámpara se enciende, pura resplandece la luna pura resplandece la luna Vuela, oh serenata vuela, oh serenata, vuela Ah, allá, ah, allá Vuela, oh serenata: mi anada está sola mas sonriendo, aún medio dormida se da vuelta entre las sábanas Oh serenata, vuela Oh serenata, vuela La ola sueña sobre la playa y el viento sobre la rama y a mis besos les niega un nido mi rubia señora. Sueñan sobre la playa las olas Sueñan sobre la playa las olas Vuela, oh serenata Vuela, oh serenata, vuela Ah, allá, ah, allá
