Luna malinconica [English translation]

You,

Pale moon, why

Are you so sad, what is it?

Why don't you shine for me?

Up there,

You can see my heart,

The disappointment in love,

This great sorrow of mine.

You know what kisses she could give me,

And you too cannot forget.

Perhaps you feel the melancholy,

Perhaps you know she's never coming back.

You,

Pale moon, why

Are you so sad, what is it?

You want to suffer with me.

Alone, I'll wander

Following my fate, in search of love.

I won't listen, along the way,

to the heart's voice.

Just the white moon

Shall guide me from the sky,

It'll teach me the way,

And it'll accompany me.

You,

Pale moon, why

Are you so sad, what is it?

Why don't you shine for me?

Up there,

You can see my heart,

The disappointment in love,

This great sorrow of mine.

You know what kisses she could give me,

And you too cannot forget.

Perhaps you feel the melancholy,

Perhaps you know she's never coming back.

You,

Pale moon, why

Are you so sad, what is it?

You want to suffer with me.
