Original lyrics
Vaga luna, che inargenti
Vaga luna, che inargenti
queste rive e questi fiori
ed inspiri agli elementi
il linguaggio dell'amor;
testimonio or sei tu sola
del mio fervido desir,
ed a lei che m'innamora
conta i palpiti e i sospir.
Dille pur che lontananza
il mio duol non può lenir,
che se nutro una speranza,
ella è sol nell'avvenir.
Dille pur che giorno e sera
conto l'ore del dolor,
che una speme lusinghiera
mi conforta nell'amor.

Translation
Lovely moon, that, with its light
Lovely moon, that, with its light,
silvers these shores and flowers
and breathes into the elements
the language of love;
you are now the only witness
of my ardent longing;
tell her, who ravishes me,
about my throbs and sighs.
Tell her, too, that even distance
cannot ease my pain,
that if I cherish any hope,
it is only for the future.
Tell her that, day and night,
I count the sorrowful hours,
that a flattering hope
comforts me in my love.
