L'aquila e il falco [English translation]

I order you to never disturb

the dwellers of this house anymore

Black scythe, queen of tears,

king of the Huns, scourge of God

He says: "My time hasn't come yet."

She answers: "We play it my way."

An eagle and a hawk will fly

at dawn they will fight on our behalf

We'll see which one files higher

if my hawk wins, I'll have you.

Fires of war are looming

she says: "My friend, tell me about you.

What's missing in your life on earth?

Why don't you wish to come with me?

I can take you away through time

to other worlds you don't know.

Rip off the cloak that hides me,

I am beautiful, the right one for you."

He says: "Woman, in your shadows,

in your castle there is no gold.

I have known you almost all my life

and there's no blood in you.

I don't want to come to your court,

to your garden of heroes.

The eagle and the hawk will decide.

You can mow me down but I'll never love you."

The eagle and the falcon are flying

in the wind, higher and higher.

Fly high, fly higher,

side by side, more and more.

The eagle and the hawk are coming back

and no wind could part them

they are flying together like brothers

and the first star is already shining.

The woman smiles and says:

"Neither of us won,

but I do keep my promises.

Take more time, you know I'll have you anyway."

He says: "Woman, moon, snake,

grass doesn't grow where I walk

but I'm the father of my people,

I have a red heart and the sex of a king.

I don't want to die in battle

nor because of poison or famine

but in the arms and wine of a woman,

the last woman, I want to die for her."

Fly high, fly higher,

from the steppe to the frozen North

fly high, fly higher,

sooner or later I'll meet you again.

Fly high, fly higher,

you'll have every woman in the world

but at the end of your last strike

you'll come with me anyway.
