Una notte a Napoli [English translation]

One sultry night in Napoli

With the moon and the bay

I've met a broken angel

Who couldn't fly away

One sultry night in Napoli

Forgotten by the stars

My wingless Svengali

To heavens carried us

Soaring above the city full of light

Forgetting all the sadness of the night

Beyond the fluffy clouds, in paradise,

Feeling delirious with love, like fireflies

How long can all this last?

How many nights of dreams?

How many hours and days?

And infinite caresses

If you love someone to death

Think of nothing, shut your eyes

Love erodes while time just flies

The ball will soon be over!

One sultry night in Napoli

With the moon and the bay

I've met a broken angel

Who couldn't fly away

One sultry night in Napoli

Forgotten by the stars

My wingless Svengali

To heavens carried us

Sadly, all must come to an end

When my heart he proceeded to shatter

Alone in the sky I was left to flutter

Now I'm on land and feeling mostly sane

Resigned never to fall in love again

Yet I still gaze upwards!

How long can all this last?

How many nights of dreams?

How many hours and days?

And infinite caresses

If you love someone to death

Think of nothing, shut your eyes

Love erodes while time just flies

The ball will soon be over!

One sultry night in Napoli

With the moon and the bay

I've met a broken angel

Who couldn't fly away

One sultry night in Napoli

Forgotten by the stars

My wingless Svengali

To heavens carried us

To heavens carried us

To heavens carried us

To heavens carried us
