Terra straniera [English translation]

Foreign land, such a melancholy!

When we two parted, don't know why

You blow a kiss to me and ran away,

And now, I confess,

You're no longer on my mind ...

I no longer remember those beautiful eyes

Filled with warm, infinite light ...

I forgot about your hair

And about those lips that used to be my life.

But, day and night I dream about my small house,

About my old mother which always awaits for me ...

The love of a country and of a mother

It's a huge flame that burns the heart!

All this sadness, all this nostalgia

Are just some memories of my Italy!

But, day and night I dream about my small house,

About my old mother which always awaits for me ...

The love of a country and of a mother

It's a huge flame that burns the heart!

Oh mother, I'll die of nostalgia

If I don't see you again ... and my Italy!
