The pale moon was rising above the green mountain
The sun was reclining beneath the blue sea,
As I walked with my love to the pure crystal fountain
That stands in the beautiful vale of Tralee.
She was lovely and fair as the rose of the summer,
But t'was not her beauty alone that won me,
O, no! T'was the truth in her eyes ever dawning
That made me love Mary the Rose of Tralee.
The cool shades of evening their mantle were spreading
And Mary, all smiling, was listening to me.
The moon through the valley its pale rays was shedding
when I won the heart of the Rose of Tralee.
Though lovely and fair as the rose of the summer,
It was not her beauty alone that won me;
O, no! T'was the truth in her eyes ever dawning
That made me love Mary the Rose of Tralee. |

Traduzione
La pallida luna sorgeva sulle montagne verdi,
il sole declinava sull'azzurro mare,
quando io mi appartai col mio amore presso una fonte pura e cristallina,
che si trova nella bella valle di Tralee.
Lei era bella e adorabile come le rose dell'estate,
ma non fu solo la sua bellezza a vincermi:
oh, no! fu la verità nei suoi occhi, luminosi come un'alba,
a farmi amare Maria, la Rosa di Tralee.
La sera diffondeva le fresche ombre del suo manto e Maria,
tutta sorridente, mi ascoltava; la luna diffondeva i suoi pallidi
raggi attraverso la valle, quando conquistai il cuore della Rosa di
Tralee.
Anche se era adorabile e bella come le rose dell'estate,
non fu solo la sua bellezza ... |
