The Birds Were Singing Of You (1930) (originale)

Last night the pale moon was shining.
Last when all was still,
I was wandering alone in sadness
Out among the woodland hills.
I heard the birds a’singing
Out among the trees and view.
And all the birds, my darling,
Were singing, were singing of you.
Were singing, were singing of you (my love).
Were singing, were singing of you.
And all the birds, my darling,
Were singing, were singing of you.
I think of you in the daytime.
I dream of you by night.
I wake and I wish you were here, love.
And tears are clouding my sight.
Those flowers that slumber so sweetly.
The stars above the blue.
Oh, heaven itself, my darling.
Is thinking of you.
Is thinking, is thinking of you (my love).
Thinking, is thinking of you.
Heaven itself, my darling,
Is thinking, is thinking of you.
I opened my window so gently,
Looked out on the dreamy view.
The whole wide world, my darling,
Was sighing, was sighing for you.
Was sighing, was sighing for you (my love)
Sighing, was sighing for you.
The whole wide world, my darling,
Was sighing, was sighing for you.

(traduzione)

Ieri sera splendeva la pallida luna.
Ultimo quando tutto era fermo,
Vagavo da solo nella tristezza
Fuori tra le colline boscose.
Ho sentito cantare gli uccelli
Fuori tra gli alberi e vista.
E tutti gli uccelli, mia cara,
Stavano cantando, cantavano di te.
Stavano cantando, cantavano di te (amore mio).
Stavano cantando, cantavano di te.
E tutti gli uccelli, mia cara,
Stavano cantando, cantavano di te.
Ti penso di giorno.
Ti sogno di notte.
Mi sveglio e vorrei che tu fossi qui, amore.
E le lacrime stanno offuscando la mia vista.
Quei fiori che dormono così dolcemente.
Le stelle sopra il blu.
Oh, il paradiso stesso, mia cara.
sta pensando a te.
Sta pensando, sta pensando a te (amore mio).
Pensare, è pensare a te.
Il paradiso stesso, mia cara,
Sta pensando, sta pensando a te.
Ho aperto la mia finestra con tanta delicatezza,
Ho guardato la vista da sogno.
Il mondo intero, mia cara,
Sospiravo, sospiravo per te.
Sospiravo, sospiravo per te (amore mio)
Sospirando, stavo sospirando per te.
Il mondo intero, mia cara,
Sospiravo, sospiravo per te.
