| Once upon a
time I thought only old people died. We had come
to pay respects to my deceased grandfather - I
was seven. By accident, I ventured upstairs into
a room where another body lay in state. It was
a young girl, my age,I thought. Her face was colorless,
yet it glowed. There was a mysterious serenity
about that little girl in white lace. I touched
her cold fingers. She seemed a sleeping angel
to me. A man, I believed to be her father, continued
to weep bitterly for his dead daughter as I slowly
made my way back downstairs. |
Una
rosa, una croce, la fiamma di un lume
Un volto, freddo e bianco
Una voce rubata dal cielo
Cosi’ presto
Folle io a voler dare un senso
E a sognare inutili sogni
Mentre angeli cupi in silenzio tramavan |
A rose, a cross,
a flickering light
A brave face, cold and white
A voice, hushed by heaven’s right
All too soon
Fool am I to grant this life meaning
To dream dreams not worth dreaming
While angels of death are silently scheming |
Lasciami riposare
sui tuoi seni
E confessarti i miei segreti
Chiedo a Dio che mi spieghi
Perche’ mai
Perche’ lui cosi’ innocente
Spento, una rosa a Dicembre
Perso, adesso e per sempre
|
Let me lay my head upon your
breast
And whisper words unconfessed
I beg God in my loneliness
Tell me why
Why one so young and tender
Crushed like a rose in December
Lost forever and ever |
Io ci saro’
quando tu chiamerai
Giu’ da una stella
Su un‘ala dall’alto del cielo
Volero’
Ma ora non piangere |
I will be there when your heart
calls on me
Down from a star, on a cloud
From the highest heaven
I will fly
Now don’t you cry |
Perche’
lui cosi’ innocente
Spento, una rosa a Dicembre
Perso, adesso e per sempre |
Why one so young and tender
Crushed like a rose in December
Lost forever and ever |
Io ci saro’
quando tu chiamerai
Giu’ da una stella
Su un‘ala dall’alto del cielo
Volero’
Ma ora non piangere |
I will be there when your heart
calls on me
Down from a star, on a cloud
From the highest heaven
I will fly
Now don’t you cry |
