An old, beautiful song written by Roberto Vecchioni. I used to sing it with my sister. And I just would like to dedicate to her (memory). Here are the lyrics and a (very bad) English translation.

Canzone da lontano
(R. Vecchioni)

Il passero ti seguirà
Non sarai piccola sempre, piccola sempre
Ma ti seguirà, ti seguirà
Il falco ti difenderà
Non sarai debole sempre, debole sempre
Ma ti difenderà, ti difenderà
"Lontano" mi chiedi
"Ma dov'è questo lontano?"
Lontano è un paese che non ti do la mano
Com'è lontano questo lontano...

La volpe ti incanterà
Le volpi vestono bene, le volpi parlano bene
Ma non le ascolterai, non le ascolterai
E il vento ingarbuglierà
I tuoi pensieri, l'amore e i tuoi capelli
E ti cambierà, ti cambierà

Lontano vuoi dire che
Domani non ritorno
Lontano vuol, dire sempre un altro giorno
Com'è lontano questo lontano

La luna ti sorveglierà
Quando avrai sonno e nel sonno avrai paura
E ti passerà, ti passerà
E il grillo ti racconterà
Che mi assomigli negli occhi e nelle stelle
E gli chiederai, gli chiederai

E quando ti sento dire:
"Fa presto che ti aspetto"
Quando so che mi pensi andando a letto
Non è lontano questo lontano

A far away song
(R. Vecchioni)

The sparrow will follow you
You won't be a little girl forever, a little girl forever,
but he'll follow you, he'll follow you.
The hawk will defend you
You won't be weak forever, weak forever,
but he'll defend you, he'll defend you

"Far away", you ask, "But where is far away"?
Far away is a land where I can't take you by the hand
How far way is far away...

The fox will bewitch you
Foxes dress well, foxes speak well
But you won't listen to them, you won't listen to them
And the wind will tangle
your thoughts, your love and your hair
and he'll change you, he'll change you

Far away means that
tomorrow I won't be back
Far away means always another day
How far way is far away...

The moon will watch over you
when you'll be sleepy and when you'll be afraid lying asleep
but the fear will pass over, will pass over
And the cricket will tell you
that we have similar eyes and similar stars
And you'll ask him, you'll ask him

And when I hear you saying
"Hurry up, I'm waiting for you"
When I know that you're thinking about me going to bed
It's not so far this far away
