Lyrics of Drifting Away - Faithless

Drifting Away (original)

MARGHERITA
L’altra notte in fondo al mare
Il mio bimbo hanno gittato,
Or per farmi delirare dicon ch’io
L’abbia affogato.
L’aura fredda,
Il carcer fosco,
E la mesta anima mia
Come il passero del bosco
Vola, vola, vola via.
Ah!
Piet di me!
In letargico sopore
E' mia madre addormentata,
E per colmo dell’orrore dicon ch’io
L’abbia attoscata.
L’aura fredda,
Il carcer fosco, ecc.

(translation)

MARGHERITA PIZZA
The other night at the bottom of the sea
My baby have thrown,
Now to make me delirious I say that I
He drowned it.
The cold aura,
The dark prisoner,
And my sad soul
Like the wood sparrow
Fly, fly, fly away.
Ah!
Have pity on me!
In lethargic drowsiness
She is my mother asleep,
And out of horror they say that I
He has embraced it.
The cold aura,
The dark prisoner, etc.
