Guido, I wisEh that you and Lapo and I
Could be taken by magic Band placed in a boat
Where every rising swEell
Would sweep us at our will acrBoss the sky
Then tempest neEver, or weather dire
Could ever make our blisBsful living cease
No, but abiding in a steaEdy, blessed peace
TogethBer in harmony
C#mAnd Lady Vanna and Lagia tAhen
She who looms the thirty beEst
Would join us at the enchanter’s behBest
And there we’d taElk of love without an end
To make those ladiBes happy in the sky
With LEapo enchanted too, and yoBu and I

C#m

Guido, I wish that you and Lapo and I

Could be taken by magic and placed in a boat

Where every rising swell

Would sweep us at our will across the sky

Then tempest never, or weather dire

Could ever make our blissful living cease

No, but abiding in a steady, blessed peace

Together in harmony

C#m A

And Lady Vanna and Lagia then

She who looms the thirty best

Would join us at the enchanter’s behest

And there we’d talk of love without an end

To make those ladies happy in the sky

E B

With Lapo enchanted too, and you and I
