The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Prima di ripartire" by Angelo Branduardi.
Lyrics
In casa non c’era nessuno,
il sole sui letti sfatti.
Sfinita dal caldo d’agosto
la bambina s’era addormentata.
Così, trattenendo il respiro,
l’ho guardata dormire
in silenzio per non farle paura
per lasciarla riposare.
In casa non c’era nessuno,
il sole sui letti sfatti.
Chissà mai da dov’era venuta,
da quale misterioso viaggio.
Col capo fra le braccia,
bambina sconosciuta,
stava sognando di cose bambine
prima di ripartire.
Lyrics translation
There was no one in the House,
the sun on the unfriendly beds.
Exhausted by the August heat
the child had fallen asleep.
Thus, holding your breath,
I watched her sleep.
in silence so as not to frighten her
to let her rest.
There was no one in the House,
the sun on the unfriendly beds.
Who knows where she came from,
from what a mysterious journey.
With your head in your arms,
unknown girl,
she was dreaming of little things
before we leave.
