I have come to serenade you

I have come to serenade you,

If the master of the house does not object.

You have a beautiful daughter. It might be

Good if you did not keep her too strictly indoors.

And if she's already in bed, I beg you,

Let her know, for my sake,

That her true love came by,

Who keeps her in his thoughts day and night,

And that in a day of twenty-four hours,

I miss her twenty-five.
