| (male) |
Che fine ha fatto
mai
Quel bimbo sempre allegro
Ma dov’e’ adesso il folle
Che era in me |
Where has he vanished to
My Boy Eternal
Where is the idle dreamer
I used to know |
Me ne vado, attraverso
mille notti
Lontano, aldila’ delle montagne
Per trovare quel che ero
Aspettami, aspettami
Ritornero’, prometto, si’ |
I must make the journey of a
thousand nights
Beyond the tyranny of Time and Space
That I may regain the wings of impulse
Wait for me, wait for me
I’ll return, promise, it will be |
Sono come un ramo
secco
Pronto ormai a spezzarsi
Ho perso quella scintilla
Della vita |
Look at me, dry as a dead sprig
Set to snap at any moment
Drained of lifeblood and laughter
Severed from the tree of life |
Me ne vado, attraverso
mille notti
Lontano, aldila’ delle montagne
Per toccare l’infinito
Aspettami, aspettami
Ritornero’, prometto, si’ |
I must make the journey of a
thousand nights
Beyond the numbing wheel of necessity
That I may recover the breath of life
Wait for me, wait for me
I’ll return, promise, it will be |
Non sono uomo
cosi’ come sono
Non posso dare, non posso amare
Ma se tu saprai aspettare
Ti predero’ per mano
Ti’ insegnero’ a volare
Perdonami le lacrime
E credimi ti amo |
I’ve grown cold and dispassionate
Insensitive to your touch
All I ask of you is to keep faith
In a homecoming that will justify
The leave-taking
Forgive me your tears
And know that I love you |
| (female) |
| Quando ridi rido
anche io |
Your happiness is my happiness |
| (male) |
| Quando piangi
piango anche io |
And your sadness, mine |
| (female) |
Ti capisco ma
fai presto
Soffro tanto sola senza te
Ogni tuo passo saro’ li’ |
Suffering is an aspect of love
- A
cross I am willing to bear
Go, but know, where not in body,
My spirit will be there |
| (male) |
Me ne vado, attraverso
mille notti
Lontano, aldila’ delle montagne
Per sentire quella luce |
I must make the journey of a
thousand nights
Miles away from home
To reclaim the heart that first you loved
Before it turned to stone |
| Aspettami, aspettami |
Wait for me, wait for me |
| (female) |
| Aspettero’ |
AI will wait |
| (together) |
| Prometto,
si’ |
I promise, this
will be |
