Nella mia città [English translation]

In my city

there’s a white house

with a wisteria tree in bloom

that rises, rises, rises up.

In my city

there’s a white house

with a wisteria tree in bloom

that rises, rises, rises up.

Over my city

there’s a big sky

that opens your heart wide

and never lets you down.

Sha, la, la,

the light goes through me,

so much pain it causes,

but, in the park, there already is stirring

a breeze that combs the meadow

and spreads out happily, there,

further over there, travels in the infinity

to look for your voice

which reverberates through all the pavement

along the tree-lined boulevard,

sha, la, la,

in the infinity, there.

In my city

there’s a railroad

that has always been rattling

but it never abandons me.

And, looking further,

there’s still a meadow left,

still a bit with bare patches

where we used to run.

Sha, la, la,

the day is dawning

one more time now

and a car horn is already awaking me,

emerging from an agitated world

which I had forgotten.

Sha, la, la,

my song goes

to look for an image that,

that, again, blooms throughout the house

as if it was a rose,

sha, la, la,

an ageless rose.

(Sha, la, la,)

in my city.

(My dear,)

splendid city.

(Sha, la, la,)

my sweet city,

(unique,)

tender city.

(Sha, la, la,)

in my city.

(My dear,

oh, sha, la, la,

unique,

oh, sha, la, la,

my dear,

sha, la, la...)
