Danza, danza fanciulla is a song by Italian Baroque composer Francesco Durante (1684-1755).
Danza, danza fanciulla is a delightful invitation to the dance. The sound of the waves and the playful breeze are the accompaniment to this stunning song, inviting a young girl to let her spirit run free in dancing.
Dance, dance, young girl
to my song;
Dance, dance, gentle young girl
to my song;
Twirl lightly and softly to the sound,
to the sound of the waves of the sea.
Hear the vague rustle
of the playful breeze
that speaks to the heart
with its languid sound,
and invites you to dance
without stopping, without stopping
that invites you to dance.
Dance, dance, gentle young girl
to my song.
