Barche di carta [English translation]

The children play

Pulling a kite

They shout and then laugh

Looking at the sky

They do little paper boats

To cross the sea

They do little paper boats

To cross the sea

That always goes, always goes...

That always goes, always goes...

That always goes, always goes...

The children play

Pulling a kite

They cry and then laugh

Looking at the sky

They do fragile sand castles

That the sea destroys later

They do fragile sand castles

That are destroyed later by the sea

That always goes, always goes...

That always goes, always goes...

That always goes, always goes...

Big ships get lost at sea

Looking for who knows what

The children collect rocks

And small empty shells

And the sea always goes

And always goes... always goes

And the sea always goes

Big ships get lost at sea

Looking for who knows what

The children collect shells

To hear the sea

That always goes, always goes...

That always goes, always goes...

That always goes, always goes...

Big ships get lost at sea

Looking for who knows what

The children collect shells

To hear the sea

That always goes, always goes...

That always goes, always goes...

That always goes, always goes...
