Caren Giarizzo - “Qualcosa è successo” Something Has Happened
Non durano a lungo le lacrime e le risa / Amore, desiderio e odio / Penso che non facciano più parte di noi / Una volta varcato il cancello / Non durano a lungo i giorni del vino e delle rose / Da un sogno nebbioso / Il nostro sentiero riemerge per un istante, poi si spegne / In un sogno / In English: They are not long, the weeping and the laughter / Love and desire and hate / I think they have no portion in us after / We pass the gate / They are not long, the days of wine and roses / Out of a misty dream / Our path emerges for a while, then closes / Within a dream.
