The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Quando tu sarai" by Angelo Branduardi.
Lyrics
Quando tu sarai vecchia e grigia,
col capo tentennante
ed accanto al fuoco starai assonnata,
prenderai questo libro.
E lentamente lo leggerai, ricorderai sognando
dello sguardo che i tuoi occhi ebbero allora,
delle loro profonde ombre.
Di quanti amarono la grazia felice
di quei tuoi momenti
e, d’amore falso o a volte sincero,
amarono la tua bellezza.
Ma uno solo di te am l’anima irrequieta,
uno solo allora am le pene del volto tuo che muta.
E tu, chinandoti verso le braci, sarai un poco triste,
in un mormorio d’Amore dirai,
di come se ne vol via…
pass volando oltre il confine di questi alti monti
e per sempre poi il suo volto nascose
in una folla di stelle.
Lyrics translation
When you're old and gray,
with the tentative boss
and by the fire you'll be sleepy,
you'll take this book.
And slowly you will read it, remember dreaming
of the look that your eyes had then,
of their deep shadows.
Of those who loved the happy Grace
of those moments of yours
and, of false or sometimes sincere love,
they loved your beauty.
But only one of You am the restless soul,
only one then am the pains of your changing face.
And you, leaning towards the embers, will be a little sad,
in a murmur of love you will say,
how to fly away…
pass flying over the border of these high mountains
and forever then his face hid
in a crowd of stars.
