In Haven (Capri)
Language: English
Available translation(s): CAT GER ITA
Closely let me hold thy hand,
Storms are sweeping sea and land;
Love alone will stand.
Closely cling, for waves beat fast,
Foam-flakes cloud the hurrying blast;
Love alone will last.
Kiss my lips, and softly say:
Joy, sea-swept, may fade to-day;
Love alone will stay.

Nel porto (Capri)
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the English
Lascia che ti stringa saldamente la mano
la burrasca spazza la terra e il mare
l'amore soltanto potrà durare.
Abbracciami forte, le ondate si frangono rapide,
Spruzzano schiuma le raffiche del vento;
l'amore soltanto rimane fermo.
Baciami sulle labbra, e lieve sussurra:
Rallegrati, i marosi possono affievolirsi oggi stesso;
l'amore soltanto resterà in eterno.
