The round Moon rolled behind the hill,
as the Sun raised up her head.
She hardly believed her fiery eyes;
For though it was day, to her surprise
they all went back to bed!

La Luna tonda rotolò dietro il colle,
Ed il Sole rizzò la bionda e la fiera testa,
Ma subito si disse: “Sogno o son desta?”.
Malgrado la sua luce illuminasse a festa,
Tutti tornarono a letto dopo la notte folle!
