La serenata
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Our translations: ENG GER
Mira la bianca luna
ascosa d'un bel vel,
vieni alla selva bruna,
vieni, ci arride il ciel.
Vieni, vieni.
Vieni, là tra quell'ombra oscura
vieni, non far rumor,
vien, deh! vien, ti rassicura
non lo saprà che Amor.

The serenade
Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)
See the pale moon
hides behind a beautiful veil,
come to the dark wood,
come, the heavens are smiling upon us,
Come, come.
Come, through this dark shade
come, don't make a noise,
come, [deh!] come, be reassured,
it will not recognise Love.
