Lyrics of Quasi Sera - Luigi Tenco

Quasi Sera (original)

Quasi sera
E tu eri con me
Eravamo seduti
Accanto al mare
Quasi sera
E là, sopra la sabbia
C’erano ancora i segni
Del nostro amore
Ricordo
Che tu mi parlavi
Io stavo guardando
Una vela passare:
Era bianca
Era gonfia di vento
Era l’ultima vela:
Era ormai quasi sera
Quasi sera…
E non ricordo altro
Né la voce che avevi
Né il nome che avevi
Quasi sera…
E poi non t’ho più vista
Non ho mai più saputo
Di te, della tua vita
Ricordo
Di noi soprattutto
La vela bianca che a un tratto
Sfiorò il nostro amore:
Era bianca
E dopo un momento
Io la stavo cercando
Ma non c’era che il vento

(translation)

Almost evening
And you were with me
We were seated
Next to the sea
Almost evening
And there, above the sand
There were still the signs
Of our love
I remember
That you were talking to me
I was watching
A sail pass:
It was white
She was swollen with wind
It was the last sail:
It was now almost evening
Almost evening ...
And I don't remember anything else
Nor the voice you had
Nor the name you had
Almost evening ...
And then I never saw you again
I never knew again
Of you, of your life
I remember
Above all of us
The white sail that suddenly
Touched our love:
She was white
And after a moment
I was looking for it
But there was only the wind
