La serenata
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Available translation(s): ENG SPA
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.

La serenata
Language: Spanish (Español)  after the Italian (Italiano)
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
