La Capinera
Julius Benedict
The Blackcap
With the return of the sweet
April you return to my kind
And come to sing your song
Among the lovely flowers of my veranda
Your voice gives me such pleasure
It makes me desire to sing
Let's sing together, guide me
You sing about love, youth
Let's sing about love, youth
Together, together let's sing
La la la la La la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
Youth, love, let's sing!
The grass and flowers greet you
In their secret language
The whisper of the breeze
Seems to seek only a kiss from you
And while my heart is close to you
I am filled with a joy
That is not entirely human
I want to sing, you guide me
Let's sing about love, youth
Let's sing about love, youth
Together, together let's sing
La la la la La la
La la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
Youth, love, let's sing!
