Lyrics

Danza, danza, fanciulla,
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.

Translation:

Dance, dance, young girl
to my song;
Dance, dance, gentle young girl
to my song;
Twirl lightly and softly to the sound,
to the sound of the waves of the sea.
Hear the vague rustle
of the playful breeze
that speaks to the heart
with its languid sound,
and invites you to dance
without stopping, without stopping
that invites you to dance.
Dance, dance, gentle young girl
to my song.
