Oh luna rossa, you're out tonight,

A moon of red in a sky of white,

Because I'm selling a lie tonight,

And blushing moon, you know of it.

Oh lunna rossa, you're smart at love

You know I'm playing the part of love,

I try my hand in the art of love,

Just for the thrill and glow of it.

Luna rossa, forgive me, luna rossa,

For the vows I made tonight that are untrue,

What else am I to do?

But blushing moon, there's a reason why,

The love I longed for has passed me by,

And so I play at the game but I,

I am lonely, luna rossa.

Luna rossa, forgive me, luna rossa,

For the vows I made tonight that are untrue,

What else am I to do?

But blushing moon, there's a reason why,

The love I longed for has passed me by,

And so I play at the game but I,

I am lonely, luna rossa.

I am lonely, luna rossa.
