Gioacchino Rossini Gi la luna in mezzo al mare,
mamma mia, si salter!
L'ora bella per danzare,
chi in amor non mancher.
Gi la luna in mezzo al mare,
mamma mia, si salter!
L'ora bella per danzare,
chi in amor non mancher.
Gi la luna in mezzo al mare,
mamma mia, si salter! Presto in danza a tondo, a tondo,
donne mie venite qu,
un garzon bello e giocondo
a ciascuna toccher,
finch in ciel brilla una stella
e la luna splender.
Il pi bel con la pi bella
tutta notte danzer. Mamma mia, mamma mia,
gi la luna in mezzo al mare,
mamma mia, mamma mia,
mamma mia, si salter.
Frinche, frinche, frinche,
frinche, frinche, frinche,
mamma mia, se salter.
Frinche, frinche, frinche,
frinche, frinche, frinche,
mamma mia, se salter.

Mother dear, skipping itself!
The hour is beautiful for dancing,
Anyone in love will not miss it.

Mother dear, skipping itself!
The hour is beautiful for dancing,
Anyone in love will not miss it.
Now the moonlight floods the water;
Mother dear, skipping itself! Soon we'll be dancing, round and round,
my ladies, come here,
A beautiful and playful lad
will have a turn with everyone.
Until in heaven sparkles a star,
And the moonbeams will shine
The most beautiful boy and girl
will dance all night. Mother dear, Mother dear,
Now the moonlight floods the water;
Mother dear, Mother dear,
Mother dear, skipping itself!

Now advancing, now receding,
and returns to the excitement. Dance, dance with the blonde,

It is the world's greatest pleasure
The most beautiful thing! Mother dear, Mother dear,

Mother dear, Mother dear,
Mother dear, skipping itself!
Faster, faster, faster,
