Marechiaro

When the moon rises, in Marechiaro1.
even the fish make love with it.
The sea waves spin,
happiness makes them change their colors,
when the moon rises, in Marechiaro.
 
In Marechiaro there is a window,
my passion knocks at it.
A carnation flower smells in its vase,
the water passing underneath whispers,
In Marechiaro there is a window.
 
Those who say stars are bright
do not know your eyes.
Only I know these two stars,
I carry their spikes in my heart.
Who are those who say stars are bright?
 
Wake up, Carolina: the air is sweet!
When have I ever waited this long?
To accompany these sounds with my voice,
tonight I brought a guitar.
Wake up, Carolina: the air is sweet!
