Fabrizio De Andrè — Corale song lyrics and translation

The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Corale" by Fabrizio De Andrè.

Lyrics

C’era un re che aveva
due castelli
uno d’argento
uno d’oro
ma per lui
non il cuore
di un amico
mai un amore né felicità.
Un castello
lo donò
e cento e cento amici trovò
l’altro poi
gli portò
mille amori
ma non trovo
la felicità.
Non cercare la felicità
in tutti quelli a cui tu hai donato
per avere un compenso
ma solo in te nel tuo cuore
se tu avrai donato
solo per pietà
per pietà
per pietà…

Lyrics translation

There was a king who had
two castles
one of silver
one of gold
but for him
not the heart
of a friend
never a love or happiness.
Castle
gift
and one hundred and one hundred friends found
the other then
port
a thousand loves
but I don't find
bliss.
Do not seek happiness
in all those to whom you have given
to get compensation
but only in you in your heart
if you have donated
just out of pity
out of pity
out of pity…
