TRANSLATIONS:

 

Ridente La Calma

 

Let calm joy awaken in my soul –

Let there remain no trace of anger or scorn,

Suddenly you come, my beloved,

To tighten the sweet chain so grateful to my heart.

 

Bonjour, Suzon!

 

Hello Susan my flower

You were quiet and always the prettiest one

I’m home again as you may see

From my grand voyage in Italy

I traveled paradise all through

I have made love too

But why should you care?

I’m passing by your home today

Open your door to me

Hello Susan

 

The last time I saw you

Your heart was just awaking

And then you told me “I don’t know”

I don’t want them to like me

What have you done while I was gone?

Who leaves too early, returns too late

But why should I care?

I’m passing by your home today

Open your door to me

Hello Susan.
