English lyric:
Chorus:
Dormi, dormi, dormi, good night and sleep well, my love,
Dormi, dormi, dormi, angels are watching above;
Till the dawn on tiptoe steals over your window sill,
May ev'ry bright star attend thee
And befriend thee with its light.
This little song may I send thee,
Dormi, dormi, my love, good-night.
Trio:
Ev'ry little bambino yearns
For this little song that he learns,
Long before he learns that the world's a balloon;
To each little note that I sing,
I have tied a dream with a string;
There are dreams running all through the tune.
[Chorus]
Italian lyric (from movie):
Chorus:
Dormi, dormi, dormi,
Dormite tranquilli, mi_amor.
Dormi, dormi, dormi,
Gli_angeli veglian su Lor.
Il_loro passo_è lieve,
Come la luce divin.
Tutte le stelle brillanti sono_incanti
Dal vostro cuor.
Dolci parole vi canto,
Dormi, dormi, tesor, amor!
