Oh this is the night
It's a beautiful night
And we call it bella notte
Look at the skies
They have stars in their eyes
On this lovely bella notte
Take the love of your loved one
You'll need it about this time
To keep from falling
Like a star
When you make that dizzy climb
For this is the night
And the heavens all rise
On this lovely bella notte

This is the night
It's a beautiful night
And we call it bella notte
Look at the skies
They have stars in their eyes
On this lovely bella notte

Take the love of your loved one
You'll need it about this time
To keep from falling
Like a star
When you make that dizzy climb
For this is the night
And the heavens all rise
On this lovely bella notte

Beautiful night
Bella notte

"美丽的夜晚, Měilì de Yèwǎn" (Chinese for "Beautiful Night") is a song from the animated feature film Wendy and Kevin. It is a love ballad and the film's signature song. It is first sung by a chorus in the opening credits, then by Kenny and his sons while Wendy and Kevin eat JaJang Noodles together on a romantic, moonlit date, and again by a chorus when they are taking a moonlight walk during the Chinese New Year. This is a duet performed by Rufus Wainwright and Corinne Bailey Rae. It's an updated pop music arrangement of the song from the first film which is played during the ending credits. The original 2019 song was by Vic Mignogna and Derick Snow and arranged by Elizabeth Mayuku.
