La casa di Hilde

(original)
L’ombra di mio padre due volte la mia
Lui camminava e io correvo
Sopra il sentiero di aghi di pino
La montagna era verde
Oltre quel monte il confine
Oltre il confine chissà
Oltre quel monte la casa di Hilde
Io mi ricordo che avevo paura
Quando bussammo alla porta
Ma lei sorrise e ci disse di entrare
Era vestita di bianco
E ci mettemmo seduti ad ascoltare il tramonto
Hilde nel buio suonava la cetra
E nella notte mio padre dormiva
Ma io guardavo la luna
Dalla finestra potevo toccarla
Non era più alta di me
E il cielo sembrava più grande
Ed io mi sentivo già uomo
Quando la neve scese a coprire la casa di Hilde
Il doganiere aveva un fucile
Quando ci venne a svegliare
Disse a mio padre di alzare le mani
E gli frugò nelle tasche
Ma non trovò proprio niente
Solo una foto ricordo
Hilde nel buio suonava la cetra
Il doganiere ci strinse la mano
E se ne andò desolato
E allora Hilde aprì la sua cetra
E tirò fuori i diamanti
E insieme bevemmo del vino
Ma io solo mezzo bicchiere
Quando fù l’alba lasciammo la casa di Hilde
Oltre il confine, con molto dolore
Non trovai fiori diversi
Ma sulla strada incontrammo una capra
Che era curiosa di noi
Mio padre le andò più vicino
E lei si lasciò catturare
Così la legammo alla corda e venne con noi
(translation)
My father's shadow twice mine
He walked and I ran
Above the pine needle trail
The mountain was green
Beyond that mountain the border
Beyond the border who knows
Beyond that mountain is Hilde's house
I remember that I was afraid
When we knocked on the door
But she smiled and told us to enter
She was dressed in white
And we sat down to listen to the sunset
Hilde played the zither in the dark
And in the night my father slept
But I was looking at the moon
From the window I could touch it
She was no taller than me
And the sky seemed bigger
And I already felt like a man
When the snow came down to cover Hilde's house
The customs officer had a rifle
When he came to wake us up
He told my father to raise his hands
And he rummaged in his pockets
But he found nothing at all
Just a souvenir photo
Hilde played the zither in the dark
The customs officer shook hands with us
And he went away desolate
And then Hilde opened her lyre
And she took out the diamonds
And together we drank some wine
But I only have half a glass
When it was dawn we left Hilde's house
Over the border, with a lot of pain
I didn't find any different flowers
But on the way we met a goat
That she was curious about us
My father came closer to her
And she let herself be captured
So we tied her to her rope and she came with us
