Lyrics

Presso la fontana
lui un giorno la trov,
vide da lontano il giallo
della veste che portava su di se
«Dimmi cosa vuoi
che io ti possa regalare,
grande il mio potere,
quello che vuoi io posso fare».
Non ti prenderai gioco di me, tu non sei certo quello che
io sto aspettando.
Quando lui verr,
allora mi alzer
e, seguendo lui,
di qui io me ne andr",
Tu non credi di essere qui per me ma ancora troppo giovane tu sei
quando avrai come me vissuto mille anni,
allora forse capirai".
Dimmi cosa vuoi
e io te la dar,
tu pensi ancora che non mi seguirai mai,
ma di te far un albero fiorito,
poi ti guarder fino a quando appasairai".
«Non ti prenderai gioco di me, tu non sei certo quello che
io sta aspettando.
Hai vissuto gi per mille anni,
ma sei giovane, lo vedo,
forse pi di me».
Quella volta infine si adir
ed in un vasto lago la mut
e dall’alto di uno bianca torre
per il resto del tempo lui l’am.

Lyrics translation

At the fountain
he One Day found her,
he saw the yellow from afar
of the robe he wore on himself
"Tell me what you want
that I can give you,
great my power,
whatever you want I can do."
You won't make fun of me, you're not sure what
I'm waiting.
When he comes,
then I alzer
and, following him,
from here I'll go",
You don't think you're here for me but still too young you are
when you have lived a thousand years like me,
then maybe you'll understand."
Tell me what you want
and I'll give it to you,
you still think you'll never follow me,
but of you make a flowering tree,
then I will look at you until you appear."
"You will not make fun of me, you are not sure what
he's waiting for me.
You've lived for a thousand years,
but you're young, I see it,
maybe more than me."
That time finally you adir
and in a vast lake the mut
and from the top of one White Tower
for the rest of the time he am it.
