In the rainy courtyard
In the wet wind of a summer night
A cat jumped onto the roof
Tea in a cup, hands in the wind

Since you left that day
Nothing is the same
Tonight seems longer than last night
Rain makes the flowers fall

Bricks are building life,
How many cracks so fragile are here
Bright eyes once filled with dreams
Cannot open when the morning comes

Since you left that day
Nothing is the same
Tonight seems longer than last night
Rain makes the flowers fall

Bricks are building life,
How many cracks so fragile are here
Bright eyes once filled with dreams
Cannot open when the morning comes

Napoletano:Oje né', fa' priesto viene!
Nun mme fá spantecá
Ca pure 'a rezza vène
Ch'a mare stó' a mená

Méh, stienne sti bbraccelle,/
Ajutame a tirá
Ca stu marenariello
Te vò' sempe abbracciá

Vicin'ô mare, facimmo 'ammore
A core a core, pe' nce spassá

Só' marenaro e tiro 'a rezza
Ma, p''allerezza, stóngo a murí

Vide ca sbatte ll'onna
Comm'a stu core ccá
De lacreme te 'nfonne
Ca 'o faje annammurá

Viene, 'nterr'a 'sta rena
Nce avimm''a recrijá
Che scenne la serena
Io po' stóngo a cantá

Vicin'ô mare,

Oje né', io tiro 'a rezza
e tu statte a guardá
li pisce, p''a prijezza,
comme stanno a zumpá!

E vide, pure 'e stelle tu faje annammurá
ca stu marenariello,
tu faje suspirá

English:Come on dear, hurry, come here!
Don't make wait and suffer
The fishing net is coming too
That i've cast

Stretch your thin arms
Help me to pull (the net)
That this young sailor
Always wants to hug you

We make love near the sea
Heart to heart, to have fun

I'm a sailor and i pull the net
But I feel like i'm almost dying of happiness

See, the lashing of the waves
Like the beat of this heart of mine
It washes you with tears
Because you make it fall in love (with you)

Come, on this shore
We'll have fun
Here comes the sunset (or the evening)
And I'm here singing

Hey dear, I pull the net
And you stay there and watch
How the fishes for joy
Are jumping

And look, you can make fall in love with you even the stars
This young sailor
You make sigh

Italiano
Blu,
il colore della libertà,

Blu, il chiarore dell' immensità,

Lassù, dove il mondo nasce e finisce

lassù, dove il sole splende e sparisce.

Soffio,
sulla vela bianca in balìa,

Soffio, su un uomo che non tornerà,

Respiro,
respiro della sposa ora lasciata,
Respiro
respiro dell' onda morendo sulla riva.
Français

Bleu,
La couleur de la liberté
Bleu, la pureté de l’immensité
Là-haut, où le monde commence et se termine
Là-haut où le soleil brille et disparaît

Un souffle
Sur la voile blanche en errance (ou qui dérive
?)
Un souffle, sur un homme qui ne reviendra pas
Un soupir,
Un soupir de la mariée laissée seule
Un soupir de l’onde qui meurt sur la rive

English

Blue
The colour of freedom
Blue, purity and immensity
Up there where the world begins and ends
Up there where the sun shines and disappears

A breath

On the white sail in the distance
A breath on a man who will never return
A sigh,

A sigh of the bride left alone
A sigh of the wave that dies on the shore

Réveillée par la lumière
D’une après-midi d’hiver
Je n’arrive pas à oublier
La chanson que tu fredonnais
Oh j’aimerais tant changer d’air
Avec toi partir à la mer

Je suis à l’ombre d’un palmier
Et dans l’air doux de l’été je sens mon cœur chavirer

Si tu reviens me chercher, j’aimerais bien t’amener
Sur les vagues dériver

Et je sais que bientôt l’
été ramènera nos baisers
Je suis à l’ombre d’un palmier
Et dans l’air doux de l’été je sens mon cœur chavirer

Si tu reviens me chercher, j’aimerais bien t’emmener
Sur les vagues dériver

Sur la plage je t’attendrai et jusqu’au large je nagerai
Sous la lune
La nuit sera comme un secret et les Etoiles l’éternité
Nous arrêter

Je suis à l’ombre d’un palmier
Et dans l’air doux de l’été je sens mon cœur chavirer

Si tu reviens me chercher, j’aimerais bien t’amener
Sur les vagues dériver

English translation :

ONE
SUMMER EVENING
Awakened by the light
One winter afternoon
I cannot forget
The song you
were
humming
Oh, I'd
so much
like
a
change
of
air
Go with you to the sea

I am in the shade of a palm tree
And in the sweet air of summer,
I feel my heart capsize

If you come back to get me, I'd like to take you
drifting
on the
waves

And I know that soon summer will bring our kisses back
I am in the shade of a palm tree
And in the sweet air of summer,
I feel my heart capsize

If you come back to get me, I'd like to take you
drifting
on the
waves

On the beach,
I will wait for you and I will swim
out to sea
Beneath
the moon
The night will be as a
secret and the stars eternity

I am in the shade of a palm tree
And in the sweet air of summer,
I feel my heart capsize

If you come back to get me, I'd like to take you
drifting
on the
waves

All night longIn the eye ofA new galaxy

In the morning
Bringing you back homeOn the highway i driveA little bit too slow

Come on look at these planesThey're flying over the rainOver the rain

I stay at home all the dayUnder curfew i feelA little unsteady

But your perfume in the airTakes me far awayOn the roadsAnd over the hills

Come on look at these planesThey're flying over the rainOver the rain
