Stella guarda la luna
Star looks at the moon
La luna guarda stella
The moon gazes at the star
La notte è bella
The night is beautiful
È bella e profumata
It's lovely and fragrant
D'aranciata e di menta
Of orange and mint
Stella è contenta
Star is happy
Che babbo se n'è andato
Because daddy has gone away
Che babbo è via lontano
Because daddy is far away
E mamma lava i piatti e canta piano
And mommy washes the dishes and sings softly
