El iubește în tăcere ochii ei căprui
He silently loves her brown eyes
Și tot focul, el își pune în ghitara lui.
and he puts all his fire in his guitar.
El, mereu, sub clar de lună, îi cântă dragostea,
He always, under the moonlight, sang his love to her
Dar nici băiatul, nici ghitara, fetei nu-i plăcea.
but neither the boy, nor the guitar was her likes...
Mereu cânta o serenadă.
He always sang a serenade
Sub geamul fetei, el tot cânta.
under the window of the girl, he was singing still.
Ei nu-i păsa de serenadă
She didn't care about the serenade
fiindcă la altul se tot gândea.
for she thought about someone else.
Mereu cânta o serenadă
He always sang a serenade
și toată lumea îl asculta,
and all the world was listening him
dar numai ea nu vrea s-asculte
but only she didn't want to listen
că nu-i plăcea... nici cum cânta.
for she didn't even like his singing!
Mereu cânta o serenadă.
He always sang a serenade
Sub geamul fetei, el tot cânta.

Ei nu-i păsa de serenadă

for she thought about someone else.
Mereu cânta o serenadă
