La gavina [English translation]

Oh! Flying seagull, you who stay close to the sea

And, following the wind from the open sea, you glide 'till you reach

The sunny beach; a beach full of sweet memories

Where the girl I love stays both night and day...

Whenever you see her, all alone, close to the soft waves

Give her the fervent kisses that I send to her,

Tell her that I'm feeling the sweetest longing

And that I think about her all the time.

Oh! If just like you, seagull, I could traverse the wise seas

Until I reached the beach, where reminiscing is so lovely,

So as to see the golden image, in her beautiful awakening

Of that girl which I enjoy caressing in my dreams...

Whenever you see her, all alone, close to the soft waves

Give her the fervent kisses that I send to her,

Tell her that I'm feeling the sweetest longing

And that I think about her all the time.
