¶Lyrics / Text

1. No North wind is blowing, So let us be going The Grotto Azzura To visit awhile, The hand must be ready, The eye must be steady, Ere vision so lovely The heart can beguile. 2. By ships gay and queenly Our boat glides serenely, By cliff and by hollow To Ana Capri; The rocks part asunder, And then, to our wonder, The air turns to azure, To sapphire the sea. 3. No sky of our dreaming, So lake softly gleaming Can mirror its glory So wondrous, so rare; Like spphire it shimmers, It glitters, it glimmers, The Grotto Azzura, 'Tis fairyland there.
