Description

SANTA LUCIA IN MOONLIGHT

The ships are leaving for far away lands,
The Neapolitans sing on board.
They sing while in the sunset the bay disappears,
And the moon above the sea
Lets them see a glimpse of Neapolis.

Santa Lucia far away from you, what a melancholy!
We circle in the whole world to seek our fortunes,
But when the moon rises, far away from Neapolis,
You can not stay away!
And they play their instruments,
But their hands tremble on the strings...

How many memories,
How many memories!
My heart can not heal,
Not even with those songs!
Hearing those voices and that music,
I begin to cry, because I want to return...
