Canta Pe' Mme

Sing for me tonight, a song,
you who are beautiful and have a golden voice.
Sing for me tonight, because I am dying,
dying while listening to a beautiful song.

Sing a serenade of the seafarers
that hasn't been sung in so long.
Sea! Tonight, how many boats at sea!
But you don't sing? What are you thinking?

Why do you cry if the night is beautiful,
and you are a daughter, and have a golden voice?
Sing for me, for me who is dying for you,
dying while listening to a beautiful song.

Sing, my distant one, now that you have returned,
now that you have returned and can't leave again.
Sing, because I have you chained,
because only you will see me die!
