Available translation(s): ENG FRE POR SPA
Danza, danza, fanciulla,
al mio cantar;
danza, danza fanciulla gentile,
al mio cantar.
Gira leggera, sottile al suono,
al suono dell'onde del mar.
Senti il vago rumore
dell'aura scherzosa
che parla al core
con languido suon,
e che invita a danzar
senza posa, senza posa,
che invita a danzar.
Danza, danza, fanciulla gentile,
al mio cantar.

Danza, danza, gentil muchacha
Language: Spanish (Español)  after the Italian (Italiano)
Danza, danza, muchacha,
con mi canto;
danza, danza gentil muchacha,
con mi canto.
Gira ligera, sutil al sonido,
al sonido de las olas del mar.
Siente el rumor vago
de la brisa burlona
que habla al corazón
con sonido lánguido,
y que invita a danzar
sin pausa, sin pausa,
que invita a danzar.
Danza, danza gentil muchacha,
con mi canto.
