| Dal lecto me levava |
From my bed I rose |
At break of dawn I rose up |
| Per servir il Signor. |
in order to serve the Lord. |
From bed to serve the Lord, |
| Alhor quando arrivava |
Then arrived |
But then his servant showed up: |
| La grua suo servidor, |
the crane, his vassal, |
The crane, his gentle ward, |
| Gru, gru, gru, gru, |
Gru, gru, gru, gru, |
Groo, groo, groo, groo, |
| Gentil ambasciador |
Kind ambassador, |
Kindest ambassador, |
| Che disse non leve, |
who said: Don't get up; |
Who told me, Don't get up; |
| Torne adormir. |
go back to sleep. |
Go back to sleep. |
| Ognun dica, |
Everyone says, |
Everybody, |
| Gru, gru, gru, gru, |
Gru, gru, gru, gru, |
Groo, groo, groo, groo, |
| Torne adormir. |
go back to sleep. |
Go back to sleep. |
