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!
