Fiorin Fiorello [English translation]

Today, the whole sky celebrates,

smiling brightly, the sun shines;

and I don't know why everywhere I see

all of the roses and violets.

My heart‘s in love;

I can’t stop it; 1

I don’t know what it is;

there’s something in me that makes me sing:

Fiorin, Fiorello, 2

love is beautiful by your side,

it makes me dream, it makes me tremble;

who knows why?

Daisy flower,

just what is this life

if there’s no love

to make our hearts flutter?

Verbena flower,

when love brings pain,

do as the wind does:

here for a moment... then passed and gone.

But when you're with me,

I am happy because

Fiorin, Fiorello,

love is beautiful by your side.

What does it matter if in love,

the song is always the same:

Daddy sings it, mama sings it

at the most beautiful age.

Today, I know that you love me,

you know that I love you so much,

then tomorrow, who knows, everything can end

but, yet we sing:

Fiorin, Fiorello,

love is beautiful by your side,

it makes me dream, it makes me tremble;

who knows why?

Daisy flower,

just what is this life

if there’s no love

to makes our hearts flutter?

Verbena flower,

when love brings pain,

do as the wind does:

that for a moment... then passes and is gone.

But when you're with me,

I am happy because

Fiorin, Fiorello,

love is beautiful close to you.

Verbena flower,

when love brings pain,

do as the wind does:

here for a moment... then passed and is gone.

But when you're with me,

I am happy because

Fiorin, Fiorello,

love is beautiful by your side.

1. hit its brakes2. "Fiorin Fiorello" is like saying "darling little flower," since "fiore" means flower and the suffixes "-ino" and "-ello" express smallness and/or affection.
