Oh, luna del Far West
Oh, moon of the Far West
Oh, luna del mio River Blue
Oh, moon of my River Blue
Quando nel ciel risplendi tu
When you shine in the sky
Sento il canto ancor dei cowboys
I still hear the song of the cowboys
Oh, luna del Far West
Oh, moon of the Far West
Insieme a te cavalcherò
With you, I'll ride
Insieme a te ritroverò
With you, I’ll find again
Lungo il River Blue il mio amor
Along the River Blue, my love
Sotto le stelle mi stendo supina
Under the stars, I lay back
Che pace intorno a me
What peace surrounds me
Mentre la sella mi fa da cuscino
While the saddle serves as my pillow
Io guardo te
I look at you
Oh, luna del Far West
Oh, moon of the Far West
Oh, luna del mio River Blue
Oh, moon of my River Blue
Quando nel ciel risplendi tu
When you shine in the sky
Mi ricordo ancor il mio amor
I still remember my love
I suoi capelli, la bocca, le mani
Her hair, her mouth, her hands
Vorrei baciare ancor
I would like to kiss again
Fu come un vento di terre lontane
It was like a wind from distant lands
Quel nostro amor
That our love
Luna del Far West
Moon of the Far West
Oh, luna del mio River Blue
Oh, moon of my River Blue
Diglielo tu che non vivo più
Tell him that I no longer live
Diglielo tu, cavalcherò senza respir
Tell him that I will ride without breathing
Finché cadrò tra le sue braccia
Until I fall into her arms
Sotto il cielo del West
Under the sky of the West
