Lyrics

Fresca era l’aria di giugno
e la notte sentiva l’estate arrivar
Tequila, Mariachi e Sangria
la fiesta invitava a bere e a ballar
lui curvo e curioso taceva
una storia d’amore cercava
guardava le donne degli altri
parlare e danzare
e quando la notte è ormai morta
gli uccelli sono soliti il giorno annunciar
le coppie abbracciate son prime
a lasciare la fiesta per andarsi ad amar
la pista ormai vuota restava
lui stanco e sudato aspettava
lei per scherzo girò la sua gonna
e si mise a danzar
lei aveva occhi tristi e beveva
volteggiava e rideva ma pareva soffrir
lui parlava stringeva ballava
guardava quegli occhi e provava a capir
e disse son zoppo per amore
la donna mia m’ha spezzato il cuore
lei disse il cuore del mio amore
non batterà mai più
e dopo al profumo dei fossi
a lui parve in quegli occhi potere veder
lo stesso dolore che spezza le vene
che lascia sfiniti la sera
la luna altre stelle pregava
che l’alba imperiosa cacciava
lei raccolse la gonna spaziosa
e ormai persa ogni cosa
presto lo seguì
piangendo urlando e godendo
quella notte lei con lui si unì
spingendo, temendo e abbracciando quella notte
lui con lei capì
che non era avvizzito il suo cuore
e già dolce suonava il suo nome
sciolse il suo voto d’amore
e a lei si donò
poi d’estate bevendo e scherzando
una nuova stagione a lui parve venir
lui parlava inventava giocava
lei a volte ascoltava e si pareva divertir
ma giunta che era la sera
girata nel letto piangeva
pregava potere dal suo amore
riuscire a ritornar
e un giorno al profumo dei fossi
lui invano aspettò di vederla arrivar
scendeva ormai il buio e trovava
soltanto la rabbia e il silenzio di sera
la luna altre stelle pregava
che l’alba imperiosa cacciava
restava l’angoscia soltanto
e il feroce rimpianto
per non vederla ritornar
il treno è un lampo infuocato
se si guarda impazziti il convoglio venir
un momento, un pensiero affannato
e la vita è rapita senza altro soffrir
la poteron riconoscere soltanto
dagli anelli bagnati dal suo pianto
il pianto di quell’ultimo suo amore
dovuto abbandonar
lui non disse una sola parola
no, non dalla sua gola un sospiro fuggì
i gendarmi son bruschi nei modi
se da questi episodi non han da ricavar
così resto solo a ricordare
il liquore pareva mai finire
e dentro quel vetro rivide
una notte d’amor
quando dopo al profumo dei fossi
a lui parve in quegli occhi potere veder
lo stesso dolore che spezza le vene
che lascia sfiniti la sera
la luna altre stelle pregava
che l’alba imperiosa cacciava
a lui restò solo il rancore
per quel breve suo amore
che mai dimenticò

Lyrics translation

Fresh was the air of June
and the night felt the summer come
Tequila, Mariachi and Sangria
the fiesta invited to drink and dance
he curvy and curious kept silent
a love story sought
he looked at other people's women
talk and dance
and when the night is now dead
birds are customary on the day of announcing the
embraced couples are first
to leave the fiesta to go to love
the track now empty remained
he was tired and sweaty waiting
she jokingly turned her skirt
and she started dancing
she had sad eyes and drank
he was spinning and laughing but seemed to suffer
he talked tight he danced
he looked at those eyes and tried to understand
and said I'm lame for love
my woman broke my heart
she said the heart of my love
it will never beat again
and then to the scent of ditches
it seemed to him in those eyes that he could see
the same pain that breaks the veins
that leaves you exhausted in the evening
the moon other stars prayed
that the imperious Dawn hunted
she picked up the spacious skirt
and now lost everything
soon followed him
crying screaming and enjoying
that night she joined him
pushing, fearing and embracing that night
he with her understood
that his heart was not wilted
and already sweet sounded his name
he dissolved his vow of love
and he gave himself to her
then in the summer drinking and joking
a new season seemed to him to come
he talked invented played
she sometimes listened and seemed to have fun
but now that it was evening
turned in bed cried
he prayed power from his love
be able to return
and a day at the scent of ditches
he waited in vain to see her arrive
the darkness was coming down and he found
only anger and silence in the evening
the moon other stars prayed
that the imperious Dawn hunted
there was only anguish left
and the fierce regret
to not see her return
the train is a fiery flash
if you look crazy the convoy come
a moment, a hard thought
and life is taken away without further suffering.
they could only recognize it
from the Rings wet from her crying
the weeping of that last love of yours
had to abandon
he didn't say a word.
no, not from his throat a sigh escaped
gendarmes are abrupt in their ways
if these episodes do not have to derive
so I'll just remember
the liquor never seemed to end
and inside that glass revide
a night of love
when after the scent of ditches
it seemed to him in those eyes that he could see
the same pain that breaks the veins
that leaves you exhausted in the evening
the moon other stars prayed
that the imperious Dawn hunted
all he had left was a grudge
for that brief love of yours
who never forgot
