La carezza della sera [English translation]

When my father would be back home I heard the voices,

I'd forget about my playing and rush there,

I'd hide in the shade of the large garden

and dare him to look for me: I’m here.

Then they put me to bed, after dinner,

she turned the light off and went away,

I was left alone and was afraid

but I didn’t ask anyone: stay for a while.

I don’t know any more what’s the taste

of that hope that I'd feel sprouting in me.

I don’t know if I miss more

that caress of the night or that desire of adventure,

desire to go away from there.

Those autumn days seemed to be eternal,

when I'd ask my mother where you were

I didn’t understand what was that shadow in her eyes

and I remained thinking: I miss you.

I don’t know any more what’s the taste

of that hope that I'd feel sprouting in me.

I don’t know if I miss more

that caress of the night or that desire of adventure,

desire to go away from there.
