01 This Love

This love
This love is a strange love
A faded kind of day love
This love

This love
I think I'm gonna fall again
And even when you
Held my hand
It didn't mean a thing
This love

This love
Never has to say love
Doesn't know it is love
This love

This love
It doesn't have to say love
It doesn't need to be love
It doesn't mean a thing

This love
This love

02 Scarborough Fair

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
He once was a true love of mine

Tell him to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without no seams nor needle work
Then he'll be a true love of mine

Tell him to find me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between salt water and the sea strands
Then he'll be a true love of mine

Tell him to reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And gather it all in a bunch of heather
Then he'll be a true love of mine

Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
He once was a true love of mine

03 Figlio perduto

Muri die vento
Notte è
Padre e figlio sono insiem

Con un cavallo
Vanno avanti
In questa grande oscurità

Ma ad un tratto
Il bimbo trema
Dall paura
Freddo si fa

Padre oh padre
Tu non hai visto
Re degli elfi
Eccolo la

Figlio perduto,
Vuoi far un gioco?
Gioia ti porto
Vieni con me

Padre oh padre
Hai già sentito
Cosa mi dice
E che vuol' far'?

Figlio perduto
Se tu non vieni
Io userò la forza che ho

Padre oh padre
Re degli elfi
Mi sta toccando
Male mi fa

 

E il bambino,
Con occhi chiusi
Lui non si muove
Perso è già

Figlio
Figlio perduto
Se tu non vieni
Io userò la mia forza

Padre oh padre
Re degli elfi
Mi sta toccando
Male mi fa

E il bambino,
Con occhi chiusi
Lui non si muove
Perso è già

... perso è già


03 Lost Son

Walls of wind
Night has fallen
father and son
Are together

With a horse
They proceed
Through this
Intense darkness

But suddenly
The boy trembles
With fear
It gets cold
Father oh father
Haven't you seen
The king of the elfs
There he is

Lost son
Do you want to play?
I bring you joy
Come with me

Father oh father
Did you hear
What he said
And what he will do

Lost son
If you don't come with me
I will use the power that I have

Father oh father
The king of the elfs
Is touching me.
He hurts me

And the boy
Eyes closed
He doesn't move
He's already lost

Son
Lost son
If you don't come with me
I will use my flower

Father oh father
The king of the elfs
Is touching me
He hurts me
And the boy
Eyes closed
He doesn't move
He's already lost

... he's already lost


04 La califfa

Tu non credere perche
Questa crudelta di padroni
Ha visto in me
Solo una cagna che
Mi mett' anch'
Io alla tua catena

Se attraverso la città
Questa ipocrita, tua citta
Il corpo mio
Che passa tra di voi
Eun invettiva contro la viltà

Tu ritroverai con me
La pì splendida proprietà
Un attimo di sole sopra noi
Alla ricerca di te

 

05 Here with me

I didn't hear you leave
I wonder how am I still here
I don't want to move a thing
It might change my memory

Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want
But I can't hide

I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting
Here with me
I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be

Until you're resting
Here with me

I don't want to call my friends
They might wake me from this dream
And I don't wanna leave this bed
Risk forgetting all that's been

Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want
But I can't hide
I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting
Here with me
I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting
Here with me


06 Serenade
Instrumental

08 Hijo de la luna

Tonto el que no entienda
Cuenta una leyenda
Que una hembra gitana
Conjuro a la luna
Hesta el amanecer
Llorando pedia
Al llegar el dia
Desposar un cale
Tendras a tu hombre
Piel morena
Desde el cielo
Hablo la luna llena
Pero a cambio quiero
El hijo primero
Que le engendres a el
Que quien su hijo inmola
Para no estar sola
Poco le iba a querer

Luna quieres ser madre
Y no encuentras querer
Que te haga mujer
Dime luna de plata
Que pretendes hacer
Con un nino de piel
Hijo de la luna

De padre canela
Nacio un nino
Blanco como el lomo
De un armino

Con los ojos grises
En vez de aceituna
Nino albino de luna
Maldita su estempa
Este hijo es de un payo
Y yo no me lo cayo

 

 

Y yo no me lo cayo
Gitano al creerse deshonrado
Se fue a su mujer

Cuchillo en mano
De quien es el hijo?

Me has enganao fijo
Y de muerte la hirio
Luego se hizo al monte
Con el nino en brazos
Y alli le abandono

Luna quieres ser madre
Y no encuentras querer
Que te haga mujer
Dime luna de plata
Que pretendes hacer
Con un nino de piel
Hijo de la luna

Y en las noches
Que haya luna llena
Sera porque el nino
Este de buenas
Y si el nino llora
Menguara la luna
Para hacerle una cuna
Y si el nino llora
Menguara la luna
Para harcerle una cuna
08 Son of the Moon

Pool who doesn't understand
A legend tells that a gipsy famale
Conjured the moon unitl dawn
Crying she asked to marry
A gipsy man the next day
"You brown skin"
From the sky spoke the full moon
"In return I want the first child
That you have with him
Because who sacrifices children
For a man is not
Going to love them much"

Chorus

Moon you want to be mother
And you can't find a love
Who makes you a woman .
Tell the moon of silver
What you intend to do

With a child of skin
Son of the moon

From a cinnamon skinned father
A son was born white
As the back of a "armino"
With gray eyes instead of olive,
Moon's albino son
"Damn this silhoutte*
This is a non-gipsy man's son
And you won't get away with this"

Chorus

When the gipsy feels dishonoured
Went towards her woman
Holding a knife
"Whose is this son?
I am sure you have cheated me!"
He hurt her to dead
Then he went to the river
With the child in his arms.
And left him go into a boat

Chorus

And the nights the moon is full
Is because the child is happy
And if the child cries
The moon will diminish
for making a cot.


09 She doesn't see him

When she passes him by
She's a ray of light
Like the first drop of sun
From the sky
And he knows she's a queen
Who deserves a king
But he is not a king
And she doesn't see him

When she dances
She moves him to a smile
He sees everything
Near her shine
There's a grace in her ways
That he can't contain
He has not that grace
So she doesn't see him

 

And the closer he gets
He can't help but hide
So ashamed
Of his body and voice
There are boundaries
We pass in spite of the war
But our own
We can't seem to cross

He has a way that surrounds him
So delicate
With a glory that reigns in his life
He is also so much that he is not
These things they don't see
And she doesn't see him

There are things we can change
If we just choose to fight
But the walls of injustice are high

When she passes him by
She's a ray of light
Like the first drop of sun
From the sky
And he knows she's a queen
Who deserves a king
Someone other than him
So different from him

She doesn't see him
She doesn't see him
10 Solo con te

Gioia nel cuor troverò
Con te il ciel raggiungerò
Pace ci sarà

Gioia nel cuor troverò
Con te il ciel raggiungerò
Pace ci sarà

Gioia nel cuor troverò
Con te il ciel raggiungerò
Un mondo nuovo con te vedrò


10 Just With You

I will find joy in the heart
With you I will reach heaven
There will be peace

I will find joy in the heart
With you I will reach heaven
There will be peace

I will find joy in the heart
With you I will reach heaven
With you I will see a new world
11 Gloomy Sunday

Sunday is gloomy
My hours are slumberless
Dearest the shadows
I live with are numberless
Little white flowers
Will never awaken you
Not where the black coach
Of sorrow has taken you
Angels have no thought
Of ever returning you
Would they be angry
If I thought of joining you
Gloomy Sunday

Sunday is gloomy
With shadows I spend it all
My heart and I have decided
To end it all
Soon there'll be flowers and prayers
That are said I know
But let them not weep
Let them know
That I'm glad to go

Death is no dream
For in death I'm caressing you
With the last breath of my soul
I'll be blessing you
Gloomy Sunday

Dreaming
I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you asleep
In the deep of my heart dear

Darling I hope
That my dream never haunted you
My heart is telling you
How much I wanted you

 

 

12 The Moon

The night falls silence
The darkness breathes quietly
Just the moon will be awake
It will cover us with silver
It will shine from the great sky
Just the moon will be awake

The moon of the night
Will sweetly protects us
The moon of the night
Will sweetly protects us

The night falls, and it is there
It reigns over the whole sky
It will watch us with kindness
Illuminating the evening
It will watch with kindness
Illuminating the evening

The moon of the night
Will sweetly protects us
The moon of the night
Will sweetly protects us

The moon will not be awake
It will flee
The moon will vanlsh
12 La Luna

Scende la notte, tranquillità
Piano il buio respira
Solo la luna veglierà
Con argento ci coprirà
Dal grande cielo splenderà
Solo la luna veglierà

La luna della notte
Dolcemente ci proteggerà
La luna della notte
Dolcemente ci proteggerà

Scende la notte
E lei è la
Su tutto'l cielo lei regna
Con gentilezza lel guarderà
Illuminando la sera

La luna della notte
Dolcemente ci proteggerà
La luna della notte
Dolcemente ci proteggerà

Luna non veglierà
Fuggirà
Luna scomparirà












Encore track First of May (live version)

When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
we used to love while others used to play.
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
someone else moved in from far away.

Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,
and you don't ask the time of day.
But you and I, our love will never die,
but guess who'll cry come first of May.

The apple tree that grew for you and me,
I watched the apples falling one by one.
And as I recall the moment of them all,
the day I kissed your cheek and you were gone.

Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,
and you don't ask the time of day.
But you and I, our love will never die,
but guess who'll cry come first of May.

When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
do do do do do do do do do ...
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
someone else moved in from far away.
