Lyrics

All’ombra dell’ultimo sole
s’era assopito un pescatore
e aveva un solco lungo il viso
come una specie di sorriso.
Venne alla spiaggia un assassino
due occhi grandi da bambino
due occhi enormi di paura
eran gli specchi di un’avventura.
E chiese al vecchio dammi il pane
ho poco tempo e troppa fame
e chiese al vecchio dammi il vino
ho sete e sono un assassino.
Gli occhi dischiuse il vecchio al giorno
non si guardІ neppure intorno
ma versІ il vino e spezzІ il pane
per chi diceva ho sete e ho fame.
E fu il calore di un momento
poi via di nuovo verso il vento
davanti agli occhi ancora il sole
dietro alle spalle un pescatore.
Dietro alle spalle un pescatore
e la memoria gi dolore
gi il rimpianto di un aprile
giocato all’ombra di un cortile.
Vennero in sella due gendarmi
vennero in sella con le armi
chiesero al vecchio se l¬ vicino
fosse passato un assassino.
Ma all’ombra dell’ultimo sole
s’era assopito il pescatore
e aveva un solco lungo il viso
come una specie di sorriso
e aveva un solco lungo il viso
come una specie di sorriso.

Lyrics translation

In the shadow of the last Sun
a fisherman had fallen asleep
and he had a groove along his face
like a kind of smile.
A Murderer came to the beach
two big baby eyes
two huge eyes of fear
they were mirrors of an adventure.
And he asked the old man give me bread
I have little time and too hungry
and he asked the old man give me the wine
I'm thirsty and I'm a murderer.
Eyes opened the old man to the day
don't even look around
but pour out the wine and break the bread
I'm thirsty and I'm hungry.
And it was the heat of a moment
then away again to the wind
before the eyes still the sun
behind the back of a fisherman.
Behind the back of a fisherman
pain and memory
already the regret of an April
played in the shade of a courtyard.
Two gendarmes came to the saddle
they came in the saddle with weapons
they asked the old man if the neighbor
if a murderer had passed.
But in the shadow of the last Sun
the fisherman had fallen asleep
and he had a groove along his face
like a kind of smile
and he had a groove along his face
like a kind of smile.
