Sergio |
Sergio came to California |
In the days after the war |
So long ago |
Bought some land |
Thought to plant a vineyard |
Like the one he used to know |
So long ago |
The sleepy valley was a land of farms and horses |
He brought his family to the house that he built all alone |
He drove the tractor, fixed the sprinklers, loaded boxes |
Sold his wine from a van |
His reputation soon began to grow |
Sergio, with grapemust on his overalls |
Acaccia in his hair |
Memories flow |
In his mind, another country far away |
With music in the air |
So long ago |
His wooden vats have turned to towers of gleaming metal |
For Pinot Noir and Syrah, Cabernet, Chardonnay |
They’re entered into competitions, winning medals |
Advertised on TV |
They’re calling him the patriarch today |
Sergio, puts a weathered hand on the labeling machine |
The day’s almost done |
Looks outside, beyond the barrels |
To the rows of vines in brown and green |
The last of the sun |
Sergio, came to California |
In the years after the war |
So long ago |
Brought some land |
Thought to plant a vineyard |
Like the ones he used to know |
So long ago |
