Lyrics

La casa sua il signore di Baux
l’ha costruita sui sassi…
La casa sua il signore di Baux
l’ha costruita sui sassi…
Passi di mille cavalieri
segnano i suoi sentieri,
vegliano dall’alto nella notte
gelidi i suoi pensieri…
La casa sua il signore di Baux
l’ha costruita sui sassi…
Gemono nel sonno i suoi cani
sognando della caccia,
siede a banchetto la sua dama
lo sguardo assorto…
fuoco e calore nelle sue sale
danze, colori e allegria,
canti e rumori, suoni di risa
nella tua casa, signore di Baux.
La casa sua il signore di Baux
l’ha costruita sui sassi…
e ancora lei rimane l e guarda passare gli anni…
voli di uccelli verso il mare,
l’ombra dei suoi pensieri,
ha imbiancato le sue sale
il vento salato…
fuoco e calore nelle sue sale
danze, colori, allegria,
canti e rumori, suoni di risa
nella tua casa, signore di Baux.

Lyrics translation

His house the Lord of Baux
he built it on rocks.…
His house the Lord of Baux
he built it on rocks.…
Steps of a thousand Knights
they mark his paths,
they watch from above in the night
freeze his thoughts…
His house the Lord of Baux
he built it on rocks.…
His dogs moan in their sleep
dreaming of hunting,
his lady sits at a banquet
the absorbed look…
fire and heat in its halls
dances, colors and cheerfulness,
songs and noises, sounds of laughter
in your house, Lord of Baux.
His house the Lord of Baux
he built it on rocks.…
and still she stays there and watches the years go by…
flights of birds to the sea,
the shadow of his thoughts,
he whitened his halls
the salty wind…
fire and heat in its halls
dances, colors, cheer,
songs and noises, sounds of laughter
in your house, Lord of Baux.
