As recorded by TOMMY DORSEY & FRANK SINATRA:

Hear my song, Violetta
Hear the song thats in my heart
Please be mine, Violetta
Say that we will never part

Every night I'm dreaming of you
Every night I want to whisper, "Dear, I love you"
Hear my song, Violetta
Hear the song that's in my heart

As recorded by JOSEF LOCKE:

Hear my song, Violetta
Hear my song beneath the Moon
Come to me in my gondola
Waiting on the old lagoon

Serenade across the water
Can you hear it soft and low
A tale of love and lovers
Singing long ago

Hear my song, in my gondola
Waiting on the old lagoon

Hear my song, Violetta
When the dawn is breaking through
Still with me in my gondola
Where we've been the whole night through

Serenade across the water
Can you hear it soft and low
A tale of love and lovers singing long ago

Hear my song, in my gondola
Waiting on the old lagoon

As recorded by DAVID WHITFIELD:

Hear my song, Violetta
Hear my song beneath the Moon
Come with me in my gondola
Waiting on the old lagoon

Serenade across the water
Can't you hear it soft and low
A tale of love that lovers used to sing long ago

Hear my song, in my gondola
Waiting on the old lagoon

The Moon on an old lagoon
A mandolin softly is played
And someone in love, 'neath a window
Singing this serenade

Serenade across the water
Can't you hear it soft and low
A tale of love that lovers used to sing long ago

Hear my song, in my gondola
Waiting on the old lagoon
