Lyrics

Sul vecchio ponte nella valle aspetto te e guardo l’acqua con un fremito perch?
come l’acqua del torrente
passerai vicino a me.
Tu mi giurasti eterno amore e fedelt?
ed or mi sfuggi senza un’ombra di piet?,
come l’acqua del torrente
che travolge e se ne va.
Perch?, perch? ti cerco?
Perch?, perch? ti voglio?
Perch? il mio cuore non ti puo' dimenticare
e le mie labbra che d’arsura fai bruciare,
come l’acqua del torrente
solo tu puoi dissetare.
Come l’acqua del torrente
passi e vai lontan da me.
E il mio cuor perdutamente
lo trascini via con te.
Perch?, perch? ti cerco?
Perch?, perch? ti voglio?
Sei come l’acqua che mi sfiora nel passare
ma tra le braccia non ti posso imprigionare,
come l’acqua del torrente
che nessuno pu? afferrare.
Dovunque andrai, ti seguir?,
ti perderai ed io con te mi perder?!

Lyrics translation

On the Old Bridge in the valley I wait for you and look at the water with a shudder why?
like the water of the stream
you'll pass by me.
You swore to me eternal love and fedelt?
and now you escape me without a shadow of piet?,
like the water of the stream
it's overwhelming and leaving.
Perch?, perch? am I looking for you?
Perch?, perch? do I want you?
Perch? my heart can't forget you
and my lips that burn you burn,
like the water of the stream
only you can quench your thirst.
Like the water of the stream
step by and get away from me.
And my heart wildly
you drag him away with you.
Perch?, perch? am I looking for you?
Perch?, perch? do I want you?
You're like the water that touches me as I pass by
but in my arms I can't imprison you,
like the water of the stream
that no one can? grab.
Wherever you go, will you follow?,
you're gonna get lost and I'm gonna get lost with you?!
