La danza di Zorba [English translation]

From there,

from the east,

this melody

cured

my

melancholy.

It rose

for me leaving,

an ageless song.

If you want to put to wings

to an ended dream,

let your grieves dissolve

dancing the sirtaki.

If you want to run in the wind,

galloping while you can,

you will be able to, for sure,

if you dance with Zorba.

Dance, dance and don't think

that the night will come to an end.

From there,

from the east,

this melody

cured

my

melancholy.

It rose

for me leaving,

an ageless song.

And you

who knows

where will you be,

who knows

with whom

will you dance?

Who knows

whether I will ever see

Greece, Zorba and you again?

If you want to paint in pink

all the gray surrounding you,

if you find life boring,

Take a dance with me.

If you want to see

all problems disappear,

how to get young again,

Zorba will teach you.

If you want to put to wings

to an ended dream,

let your grieves dissolve

dancing the sirtaki.

If you want to run in the wind,

galloping while you can,

you will be able to, for sure,

if you dance with Zorba.

Dance, dance and don't think

that the night will come to an end.
