That I will ever be able
to stop loving you
No, don't believe it,
dear eyes!
Not even to joke
would I deceive you about this.
You alone
are my sparks,
and you will be,
dear eyes,
my beautiful fire
as long as I live, ah!
I am the pretty shepherdess,
Who comes down every morning,
Offering a little basket
Of fresh fruit and flowers.
Those who come at first light
Will find delightful roses
And apples damp with dew,
Come all to my garden.
Those who lost their way
In the horror of the night,
Will find their path once more
At my little cabin.
Come, oh passing traveller,
The shepherdess is here,
Yet the flower of her thoughts
She will give to one and one alone!
Now the moon is over the ocean;
Mamma mia, we're going to leap!
The hour is beautiful for dancing,
Anyone in love will not miss it.
Now the moon is over the ocean;
Mamma mia, we're going to leap!
Soon we’ll be dancing, round and round,
my ladies, come here,
A beautiful and playful lad
will have a turn with everyone.
As long as in heaven sparkles a star,
And the moonbeams will shine
The most beautiful boy and girl
will dance all night.
Mamma mia, Mamma mia,
Now the moon is over the ocean;
Mamma mia, mamma mia,
Mamma mia, we're going to leap!
Faster, faster, faster,
faster, faster, faster,
Mamma mia, we're going to leap!
Hopping, jumping, turning, spinning,
every couple have a turn,
now advancing, now receding,
and returns to the excitement.
Now advancing, now receding,
and returns to the excitement.
Keep close, keep close with the blonde,
with the brunette go here and there,
with the redhead follow along.
with the pale one, keep still.
Long live dancing, round and round!
I am a king, I am a lord,
It is the world’s greatest pleasure
The most beautiful delight!
Mamma mia, mamma mia,
now the moon is over the ocean;
Mamma mia, Mamma mia,
Mamma mia, we're going to leap!
Faster, faster, faster,
faster, faster, faster,
Mamma mia, we're going to leap!
