Lyrics
Sulla roccia del fiume, sbattevi i tuoi panni
in ginocchio cantavi, le tue nènie tristi.
Con un lembo di veste asciugavi gli affanni
da un cespuglio fiorito, spiavo i tuoi gesti.
E uno stormo d’uccelli, gridavano a festa
disegnando dei quadri, un pòassurdi nel cielo.
E nell’acqua di lei, si specchiavano appòsta;
per sembrare piùbelli, quand’erano in volo.
E le dissi per scusa, che mi ero smarrito
mentre stavo cercando, un paese lontano.
Ma dagli occhi sapeva, che avevo mentito;
mi feci coraggio e le presi la mano.
La sua veste cadeva, nell’acqua del fiume
con le mani copriva, il suo primo rossore.
E gli uccelli appostati, su un filo di rame
guardavano gai, quella scena d’amore.
Lyrics translation
On the rock of the river, beat your clothes
on your knees you were singing, your sorrowful Niñas.
With a flap of robe you wiped your troubles
from a flowering bush, I was spying on your gestures.
And a flock of birds, they cried with a feast
drawing pictures, a bitsurprises in the sky.
And in the water of her, they reflected themselves;
to look prettier when they were in flight.
And I said to her as an excuse, that I was lost.
while I was looking, a far country.
But from the eyes he knew, that I had lied;
I took courage and took her hand.
His robe fell in the water of the river
with his hands covered, his first blush.
And the birds lurking on a copper wire
they were watching gai, that love scene.
