Volano Le Rondini
Gigliola Cinquetti
Swallows Fly
As a kid, I used to play with you
'Cause among the others, you were worth more
And if I came to you crying
Then you would tell me this:
"Look, look, look! Swallows fly
Free in the sky, just like you
Fly with your thoughts but don't get caught
Later in life, everything will change
Because you don't know
That the best years are the ones you have.
Spring has returned down here
But my wings don't fly anymore
Now that I know what sadness is
I wish I could hear from you again:
"Look, look, look! Swallows fly
Free in the sky, just like you
Fly with your thoughts but don't get caught
Later in life, everything will change
Because you don't know
That the best years are the ones you have.
Look, look, look! Swallows fly
Free in the sky, just like you
Look, look, look! Swallows fly
Look, look, look! They fly up there"
