"La canzone del sole" originale in inglese di Lucio Battisti

THE SUN SONG (1977)
(La canzone del sole)
(Battisti-Mogol-Powell)

Your long blonde hair and eyes of baby blue
bright colors never fading.
The blush of childhood on your downy cheek
the days of hide-and-seek.
The secret places we arranged to be
the things you felt but couldn't see.
The sandy footprints as you shyly fled oh no!
Now summer's gone away, we are older!
Where have you been, what have you done, till now?
You're a woman, a woman, tell me:
what do you mean that you're a woman at last?
How many arms have been around you?
Did they change you in the past
so what don't tell me you're moving too fast.
Do you remember tossed in waves of white?
Green stones where water flows free?
What color are your eyes speckled in light?
I'll never ask, you'll never tell me!

Oh sad old ocean, sad old ocean, jaded sea!
You were as pure, as the innocence, in me! (2 times)

The bicycles, we left abandoned on the top of the hill
lying together under the trees.
flowers, the pages of your scrapbook fill
so happy in that summer breeze...
An awkward silence that you seem to fear
a look I couldn't understand
the flowers falling as I draw near... oh no!
Don't hold me back, don't raise you're hands!
Where have you been, what have you done, till now?
You're a woman, a woman, tell me:
what do you mean that you're a woman at last?
How many arms have been around you?
Did they change you in the past
so what don't tell me you're moving too fast.
Can you recall the waves and summer skies?
The spray from surfing in the sea?
What light flickers deep in your eyes?
Is the flame still burning? I can't see!

Oh sad old ocean, sad old ocean, jaded sea!
You were as pure, as the innocence, in me! (2 times)

When
the bright rays of the morning sun burst into... the night
the early day breaks over us with clear... warm light
the shadows and the phantoms of the dark
turn into trees and blossoms
truth once more rejects the lies
and love becomes the light
that's shining still in your eyes!

Oh sad old ocean, sad old ocean, jaded sea!

Wonderful - almost as good as the original Italian version.
