La ninna‑nanna di Solveig

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the Norwegian (Bokmål)

Dormi tranquillo, bambino mio,
dormi e riposa che ti veglierò.

Sei stato tanto a lungo nel mio grembo
E tanto a lungo t`ho cullato al seno.

Dormi tranquillo bambino mio
Dormi e riposa che ti cullerò.

Sei stato tanto a lungo nel mio cuore per tutta la tua vita
Tu non mi hai mai lasciato, ora sei stanco bambino mio,

dormi e riposa che ti veglierò 
dormi tranquillo bambino mio, dormi, dormi!
