Lyrics
Passammo l’estate
su una spiaggia solitaria
e ci arrivava l’eco di un cinema all’aperto
e sulla sabbia un caldo tropicale
dal mare.
E nel pomeriggio
quando il sole ci nutriva
di tanto in tanto un grido copriva le distanze
e l’aria delle cose diventava
irreale.
Mare mare mare voglio annegare
portami lontano a naufragare
via via via da queste sponde
portami lontano sulle onde.
A wonderful summer
on a solitary beach
against the sea
«le grand hotel Sea-Gull Magique»
mentre lontano un minatore bruno
tornava.
Mare ecc…
Lyrics translation
We spent the summer
on a lonely beach
and there came the echo of an outdoor cinema
and on the sand a tropical heat
by the sea.
And in the afternoon
when the sun fed us
from time to time a cry covered the distances
and the air of things became
unreal.
Sea Sea Sea I want to drown
take me away to shipwreck
from these shores
take me away on the waves.
A wonderful summer
on a solitary beach
against the sea
"Le grand Hotel Sea-Gull Magique»
while away a brown miner
back.
Sea etc…
