gia la luna e in mezzo al mare
l'ora e bella per danzare
chi e in amor non manchera. gia la luna e in mezzo al mare
l'ora e bella per danzare
chi e in amor non manchera. gia la luna e in mezzo al mare
un garzon bello e giocondo
finche in ciel brilla una stella
e la luna splendera. il piu bel con la piu bella
tutta notte danzera. mamma mia
gia la luna e in mezzo al mare
se saltera. la la ra la ra
e all' assalto tornera. salta
e all' assalto tornera. gia s'avvanza
colla smorta fermo sta. viva il ballo a tondo a tondo
e il piu bel piacer del mondo
la piu cara volutta. mamma mia
gia la luna e in mezzo al mare
se saltera. la la ra la ra
now the moonlight floods the water;
the hour is beautiful for dancing
anyone in love will not miss it. now the moonlight floods the water;
the hour is beautiful for dancing
anyone in love will not miss it. now the moonlight floods the water;
a beautiful and playful lad
will have a turn with everyone. until in heaven sparkles a star
and the moonbeams will shine
the most beautiful boy and girl
will dance all night. mother dear
now the moonlight floods the water;
and returns to the excitement. hopping
and returns to the excitement. now advancing
and returns to the excitement. dance
with the brunette of here and there
with the redhead go to second. with the pale one
she still remains. long live dancing
it is the world's greatest pleasure
the most beautiful thing!
now the moonlight floods the water;
