Fu tutta colpa di un raggio di luna
It was all the fault of a moonbeam
Un piccolissimo raggio così
A tiny little ray like that
La sua boccuccia nel buio tra i fiori illuminò
Her little mouth lit up in the dark among the flowers
E lui s'innamorò
And he fell in love
Lei vergognosa additava la luna
She, shy, pointed at the moon
E lui arrossendo diceva di sì
And he, blushing, said yes
Si innamorarono al buio
They fell in love in the dark
Sognando cuore a cuor
Dreaming heart to heart
Che amor, che amor
What love, what love
Fu lei, fu lui
It was her, it was him
Chi fu, chi si ricorda più?
Who was it, who remembers anymore?
Non lei, non lui, ma chi?
Not her, not him, but who?
Un raggio piccolissimo, ma piccolo così
A tiny little ray, but so tiny
Fu tutta colpa di un raggio di luna
It was all the fault of a moonbeam
Un piccolissimo raggio così
A tiny little ray just like this
Si innamorarono al buio
They fell in love in the dark
Sognando cuore a cuor
Dreaming heart to heart
Che amor, che amor
What love, what love
Fu lei, fu lui
It was her, it was him
Chi fu, chi si ricorda più?
Who was it, who remembers anymore?
Non lei, non lui, ma chi?
Not her, not him, but who?
Un raggio piccolissimo, ma piccolo così
A tiny ray, but tiny like this
Fu tutta colpa di un raggio di luna
It was all the fault of a ray of moonlight
Un piccolissimo raggio così
A tiny little ray like this
Si innamorarono al buio
They fell in love in the dark
Sognando cuore a cuor
Dreaming heart to heart
Che amor, che amor
What love, what love
