Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari Rispetto I

In Classics, Songs, Songs in Italian by Vogler & Lindqvist4 Comments

Rispetto I     canto popolare

Quando ti vidi a quel canto apparire
Ti assomigliai alla spera del sole.
Abbassai gli occhi e non seppi che dire:
Allora incominciava il nostro amore.
Ora che il nostro amor è cominciato
Vogliami un po’ di ben giovin garbato.

Respect I  folk song    translation by Hélène Lindqvist

When I saw you appear on the corner
you seemed like a ray of the sun.
I turned down my gaze and didn‘t know what to say:
There our love began.
Now, that our love has begun,
love me a little, polite boy
