Текст песни Moonlight Serenade (Kurt Elling) с переводом

Understand the Night

When she flashes her sparkling eyes at dusk

She flirts with Twilight

When the noise of day dies away

The Night and Twilight stay and stay

Making quiet love up high over the town

And the gentle Twilight gives his light

Making a queen of Night

If I could, I would write a sonnet of the night as a

Rememberance of your eyes

And, if you’d promise not to tell

I could whisper the words in the dark, like a lover

We could count the stars — the shooting stars —

And talk of lovers through the ages who had lived out

Of their dreams

Such will and spirit, courage they needed to live in a dream;

To burn, with every breath so serene —

As if they had been the first to find love at all —

Like Night and Twilight

(They were the first of lovers ever.)

Could we be like them — hold on to one another until

Dawn comes?

Then, we’ll fly off and dream until Night and Twilight

Kiss again

My love — my one and only love —

Let me take you out under the moonlight and show how

The Twilight loves the Night;

Why he lives for an hour of loving through lifetimes of

Longing

And sings his moonlight serenade
