I pioppi, curvati dal vento
rimugghiano in lungo filare.
Dal buio, tra il sonno, li sento
e sogno la voce del mare.
E sogno la voce profonda
dai placidi ritmi possenti;
mi guardan, specchiate dall'onda,
le stelle del cielo fulgenti.
Ma il vento piu' forte tempesta
de' pioppi nel lungo filare.
Dal sonno giocondo mi desta...
Lontana è la voce del mare!

Land and sea
Language: English  after the Italian (Italiano)
The poplars, bent by the wind
roar again in long rows.
In the dark, half asleep I hear them
and dream of the voice of the sea.
And I dream of the deep voice
with its calm and mighty rhythms,
the stars in the sparkling firmament,
gaze at me reflected in the waves.
But the wind rages louder
through the long row of poplars
and wakes me from my joyful sleep ...
Distant now is the voice of the sea!
