Lyrics

Notte scura, notte chiara, notte finirai,
notte di bombardamenti, notte che non sai
che Nina ha pianto di paura in latteria,
perduta, nel rifugio sotto casa sua
Dentro a un libro di Liala la serenit,
Roma adesso troppo avara, non ti ascolter,
e d’incontrarlo, lui che viene da lontano,
probabilmente stato l’unico regalo…
«…dove vai, che farai, quanti anni mi dai…
credi ancora all’amore, e se ci credi… perch?»
«Non lo so dove andr, ti d gli anni che hai…
…credo ancora all’amore …perch avr gli occhi tuoi…»
Nina abita a Trastevere e lo aspetter,
mentre lui sta a San Lorenzo e la raggiunge in tram,
e quando l’odio della guerra aumenter,
soltanto Nina riuscir a portarlo via
Ma la guerra gi alla porta e gli ha bussato gi,
la divisa di artigliere e una fotografia…
e Nina non vorrebbe mai mandarlo via,
vederlo piangere e marcire in prigionia…
«…dove vai, dove sei, Nina, aspettami ancora,
finir questo inverno, questa rabbia di un’ora…
dove vai, dove sei mio dolcissimo amore…
…quante stelle al soffitto ho contato per te…»
«…dove vai, dove sei, Nina, aspettami amore…
passer presto un treno… io… vedrai che sapr ritornare…
…dove vai, dove sei… Nina…
credi all’amore?»
«…credo ancora all’amore …perch avr…
…gli occhi tuoi…»

Lyrics translation

Dark Night, Light Night, Night will end,
night of bombings, night you don't know
that Nina cried with fear in the dairy,
lost, in the shelter under her house
Inside a book by Liala La serenit,
Rome now too stingy, do not listen to you,
and to meet him, he who comes from afar,
probably was the only gift…
"...where do you go, what will you do, how old do you give me…
you still believe in love, and if you do, why?»
"I do not know where andr, ti d the years you have…
... I still believe in love ... because I'll have your eyes…»
Nina lives in Trastevere and wait for him,
while he stands in San Lorenzo and reaches her by tram,
and when the hatred of war increases,
only Nina can take him away
But the war already at the door and knocked him already,
the gunner's uniform and a photograph…
and Nina would never want to send him away,
see him cry and rot in captivity…
"...where you go, where you are, Nina, wait for me again,
finish this winter, this one-hour rage…
Where Are you going, Where Are you my sweet love…
... how many stars on the ceiling I counted for you…»
"...where you go, where you are, Nina, wait for me love…
passer soon a train ... I ... you will see that you know how to return…
... where you go, where you are ... Nina…
do you believe in love?»
"...I still believe in love ... …
... your eyes…»
