Sole e amore

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG

Il sole allegramente
Batte ai tuoi vetri. Amor
Pian batte al tuo cuore,
E l'uno e l'altro chiama.
Il sole dice:   O dormente,
Mostrati che sei bella.
Dice l'amor: Sorella,
Col tuo primo pensier pensa a chi t'ama!

The sun and love

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

The sun joyfully
Taps at your windows. Love
Softly taps at your heart,
And so the one and the other call to you.
The sun says:   Oh sleeper,
Show yourself, since you’re so beautiful.
Love says: Sister,
With your first thought, think of he who loves you!
