Translation of the song lyrics Come le viole - Peppino Gagliardi

Come le viole (original)

Son tornate le viole quaggiù
Ma non hanno colore per me
Quella calda tenerezza che tu
Portavi nei tuoi occhi
No, non c'è più
Come le viole anche tu
Ritornerai
La primavera con te
Riporterai
Avevi la mia vita
Avevi la mia vita
Fra le tue braccia
Te ne sei andata non so
Te ne sei andata con chi
Dai sogni miei
Forse domani chissà
Tu piangerai
Quando il mio amore lo so
Tu capirai
Rifioriranno tante primavere
Come le viole anche tu ritornerai
Rifioriranno tante primavere
Come le viole anche tu ritornerai
Rifioriranno tante primavere
Come le viole tu ritorneraaaaai

Come le viole (translation)

The violets have descended once more to earth,
Yet for my eyes, their hues are drained and hollow,
That molten tenderness—the gentle warmth you
Once wore as light within your gaze—
No more, it lives no longer here.
As violets vanish, so have you—
But you, like violets, will return.
You’ll bear the springtime in your arms,
You’ll bring anew the quickening of dawn—
You held the whole of my existence,
Yes, all my days were harbored in your hands,
Cradled in the shelter of your arms.
You slipped away—I know not why,
Nor whose shadow you followed from my dream,
From out the tangled drift of all my visions.
Perhaps tomorrow—who can say—
You’ll weep,
When, at last, my love—this much I know—
You’ll understand.
Again will myriad springs burst into bloom,
As violets return, so surely shall you,
Again will myriad springs burst into bloom,
As violets return, so surely shall you,
Again will myriad springs burst into bloom,
As violets return, so you will come to me.
