Summer moon

Francesco Paolo Tosti

Summer moon, I have a dream in my heart

And I go on singing all night by the sea:

I stopped at a flower-decked window

Because my soul has caught the fever of love.

I stopped at a flower-decked window

Where there are two spellbinding eyes.

And whoever sees them suffers from love

And dreams with desire, summer moon!

Summer moon, love is like the sea

And my heart is a constantly moving wave:

But it can only be stopped by

Her eyes and her rosy lips.

And I go on singing all night by the sea

Because of two sleeping eyes.

I have tears in my eyes and hope in my heart

And I shine like you, summer moon!
