SANTA LUCIA. 



WORI,D-WIDE FAVORITES. 



I. 



Moonlight so sweet and pale, 



From heaven falling; 

 Wavelets that murmur low, 



To us are calling; 

 White is the summer night, 

 Summer sea, silver bright, 

 Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia. 



II. 



Soft winds that come and go, 



Coolness are bringing; 

 Bearing on gentle wings, 



Echoes of singing; 

 Waits the light boat for thee, 

 Floats o'er the waves with me, 

 Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia. 



III. 



O joy to lie at rest, 



Drifting and dreaming; 

 On ocean's peaceful breast, 



'Neath moonlight gleaming; 

 Bride of the summer sea, 

 Naples, thy child to be, 

 Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia. 



BARCAROLLE. 



INTERMEDIATE. 



Moonbeams on the water bright, With silv'ry radiance gleaming, 



Balmy breezes soft and light, Waft perfume thro' the night; 



In our bonnie boat we glide, While lovelit eyes are beaming; 



Gently floating side by side Upon the rippling tid.e. 



The twinkling stars above With their softened rays streaming. 



The twinkling stars above, Thrill our hearts with their smile, 



Thrill our hearts with their smile Ah ! 



Moonbeams on the water bright, With silv'ry radiance gleaming, 



Balmy breezes soft and light, Waft perfume thro' the night. 



Ah ! ... while the stars are gleaming, In our bonnie boat we glide, 



Ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah!
