Il mio regno [English translation]

You, fairy that I never saw,

you were the queen of the kingdom of which I dreamed one day.

And you, my dear old tree,

you have been a kingdom’s castle and know it not.

Of a kingdom with a single soldier

who searched for witches and wanted to stone them—

of a kingdom that lived every day—

the many thousands that once there were.

Oh, if

no one told me

that fairy tales cannot come true, I would be there right now.

Of a kingdom

with a single soldier

who searched for witches and wanted to stone them—

Of a kingdom

that lived every day—

the many thousands that once there were.

Oh, if

no one told me

that fairy tales cannot come true, I would be there right now.
