	Lyrics Sérénade italienne (Italian serenade) Text by Paul Bourget (1852-1935) Partons en barque sur la mer Pour passer la nuit aux étoiles. Vois, il souffle juste assez d'air Pour enfler la toile des voiles. Le vieux pêcheur italien Et ses deux fils, qui nous conduisent, Écoutent mais n'entendent rien Aux mots que nos bouches se disent. Sur la mer calme et sombre. Vois, Nous pouvons échanger nos âmes, Et nul ne comprendra nos voix, Que la nuit, le ciel et les lames. Let's go out in a boat on the sea to spend the night under the stars. Look, it's blowing just enough breeze to swell the canvas of the sails. The old Italian fisherman and his two sons, who sail us out, hear but understand nothing of the words we say to each other. On the calm dark sea, look! we can exchange our souls, and our voices will not be understood except by the night, the sky and the waves. Translation to English copyright © 2000 by Peter Low
