And the little bird sings on the branch:
Sleep calmly, Boccuccia my love:
Rest your little, blond head
on your mother's heart.
And the little bird sings on that branch:
You will learn so many beautiful things,
But if you want to know how much I love you,
No-one in the world can ever tell you!
And the bird sings to the serene sky:
Sleep, my treasure, here on my breast.
