The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Casanova" by Angelo Branduardi.
Lyrics
Camminava verso Venezia Casanova,
come un gabbiano a sera torna al nido,
fra le ombre profumate
di donne mai dimenticate,
lo accompagnava verso casa
lo nostalgia…
Ora viene la notte,
ora viene l’inverno, Casanova…
Solo, lungo quella strada polverosa,
inquieto se ne andava verso il mare,
nei riflessi dei canali
figure mascherate,
stagioni lontane e giardini
illuminati…
Ora viene la notte,
ora viene l’inverno, Casanova…
Cento notti, cento donne in una vita,
meravigliose vergini e puttane,
una favola inventata
ormai la giovinezza…
Splendori, miseria, gloria e malinconia…
Ora viene la notte,
ora viene l’inverno, Casanova…
Lyrics translation
He walked towards Venice Casanova,
as a seagull in the evening returns to the nest,
among the fragrant shadows
of women never forgotten,
she walked him home.
nostalgia…
Now comes the night,
now comes Winter, Casanova…
Alone, along that dusty road,
restless he went to the sea,
in the reflections of the channels
masked figures,
distant seasons and gardens
illuminate…
Now comes the night,
now comes Winter, Casanova…
One Hundred Nights, one hundred women in a lifetime,
wonderful virgins and whores,
an invented fairy tale
now Youth…
Splendor, Misery, glory and melancholy…
Now comes the night,
now comes Winter, Casanova…
