SERENATA (RIMPIANTO)

(Enrico Toselli / Alfredo Silvestri)

.

Isaac Salinas

.



Come un sogno d'or

scolpito è nel core

Il ricordo ancor' di quell'amor

che non esiste più

.

Fu la sua vision

qual dolce sorriso

che più lieta fa,

col suo brillar, la nostra gioventù

.

Ma fu molto breve in me

la dolcezza di quel ben svani

quel bel sogno d'or

lasciando in me il dolor.

.

Cupo è l'avvenir sempre più tristi

i di la gioventù passata

sarà rimpianto

mi resta sol

sì rimpianto amaro e duol' nel cor!

.

Oh raggio di sole

Sul mio cammino ahimè non brii li più

Mai più, mai più

Like a golden dream in my heart, ever smiling

Lives the image fair of happy love I knew in days gone by

Still I seem to hear your laughter beguiling

Still to see the joy

The love light beaming from your radiant eye

.

Can my dreaming be in vain

Will my love ne'er come again? Ah come!

Shall we waste the golden hours of youth far apart

What care I for life without you by my side

.

Do not delay, the hours slip away

Your arms are my paradise

You and only you can fill my heart

.

Oh, star of my heaven

Come back and shed your light upon my way

Come back! Come back!

TOSELLI'S SERENADE (DREAMS AND MEMORIES)

(Enrico Toselli / Carl Sigman)

.

Perry Como - 1966

.



Dreams and memories,

Are all that you've left me,

Only lonely thoughts,

About the one I worship and adore!

.

Dreams and memories,

Are what I must live with,

Sad remembering,

Of golden moments that exist no more!

.

Lovin' arms to hold me tight,

And your lips to kiss goodnight,

A love that seemed " Oh so right!"

And yet, somehow, went wrong!

.

Dreams and memories,

The moonlight on your hair,

Songs that we sang,

That feeling we shared whenever a church bell rang!

.

Oh, the memories and dreams of you!

.

I can't live without you . . .

I'll keep on praying you come back to me,

To me . . . to me!
