Lyrics

Oh borgo, vecchio borgo degli amanti
che il poeta immortalò
e ch’io ripenso pallidi e tremanti
come amore li avvinghiò,
borgo ascolta, questa volta,
la nuova istoria che narrar ti vo.
Borgo antico,
dai tetti grigi sotto il cielo opaco
io t’invoco
ma per le strade tue si perde l’eco
che dice cuore, cuor,
se spasimi con me, sopporta il mio dolore.
Cuore,
tu sai perché
non bevo
e sono ubriaco,
non gioco
e perdo al giuoco dell’amor.
Ho perso in mezzo a queste rose gialle
la speranza di un chissà
e la canzone mia si perde a valle
con la mia felicità.
Ora nona, suona, suona
e dimmi ancora è tardi, non verrà.
Borgo antico,
dai tetti grigi sotto il cielo opaco
io t’invoco
ma per le strade tue si perde l’eco
che dice cuore, cuor,
se spasimi con me, sopporta il mio dolore.
Cuore
tu sai perchè
non bevo
e sono ubriaco,
non gioco
e perdo al giuoco dell’amor.
Il cielo è diventato color fuoco.
Il sogno mio si spegne, borgo antico!

Lyrics translation

Oh Village, old village of lovers
that the poet immortalized
and that I think pale and trembling
how love gripped them,
borgo listen, this time,
the new story I tell you.
Ancient village,
from the gray roofs under the opaque Sky
I invoke thee
but in your streets you lose the Echo
that says Heart, Heart,
if you freak out with me, bear my pain.
Heart,
you know why
I don't drink
and I'm drunk,
I don't play
and I lose at the game of love.
I lost in the midst of these yellow roses
the hope of a who knows
and my song is lost downstream
with my happiness.
Ninth hour, play, play
and tell me it's still late, he won't come.
Ancient village,
from the gray roofs under the opaque Sky
I invoke thee
but in your streets you lose the Echo
that says Heart, Heart,
if you freak out with me, bear my pain.
Heart
you know why
I don't drink
and I'm drunk,
I don't play
and I lose at the game of love.
The sky has become fire-colored.
My dream goes out, old village!
