Canto, ma sottovoce [English translation]

There is like a silvery veil

in the sky this evening

but the night is blacker

in the lunar whiteness.

Meanwhile, there, a star

has fallen among the trees

and on my sad song

a tear appears.

I sing

but softly,

love also sings

softly or keeps silent

when there is a heart

that's no longer happy,

when the loved one

is away from you.

Moon,

serious moon,

see how destroyed

my home is!

Tell me where can I find

my bride.

You don't answer and cry

with me.
