Aveva un bavero

(original)
Nelle sere fredde e scure
Presso il fuoco del camino
Quante storie, quante fiabe
Raccontava il mio nonnino
La più bella ch’io ricordo
È la storia di un amore
Di un amore appassionato
Che felice non finì
Ed il cuore di un poeta
A tal punto intenerì
Che la storia di quei tempi
Mise in musica così:
Aveva un bavero color zafferano
E la marsina color ciclamino
Veniva a piedi da Lodi a Milano
Per incontrare la bella Gigogin
Passeggiando per la via
Le cantava: «Mio dolce amor
Gigogin, speranza mia
Coi tuoi baci mi rubi il cuor»
E la storia continua: lui fu mandato soldatino in Piemonte, ed ogni mattina le
inviava un fiore sull’acqua di una roggia che passava per Milano.
Finché un giorno…
Lui, saputo che il ritorno
Finalmente era vicino
Sopra l’acqua un fior d’arancio
Deponeva un bel mattino
Lei, vedendo e indovinando
La ragione di quel fiore
Per raccoglierlo si spinse
Tanto tanto che cascò
Sopra l’acqua, con quel fiore
Verso il mare se ne andò
E anche lui, per il dolore
Dal Piemonte non tornò
Aveva un bavero color zafferano
E la marsina color ciclamino
Veniva a piedi da Lodi a Milano
Per incontrare la bella Gigogin
Lei lo attese nella via
Fra le stelle stringendo un fior
E in un sogno di poesia
Si trovarono uniti ancor
Stretta la foglia, larga la via;
dite la vostra, ché noi abbiamo detto…
un bavero color zafferano
La storia di un amor
(translation)
On cold, dark evenings
At the fire in the fireplace
How many stories, how many fairy tales
My grandfather used to say
The most beautiful I remember
It is the story of a love
Of a passionate love
How happy did not end
And the heart of a poet
At this point he softened
What the story of those times
He put it to music like this:
She had a saffron collar
And the cyclamen-colored tailcoat
She came on foot from Lodi to Milan
To meet the beautiful Gigogin
Strolling down the street
She sang to her: «My sweet love
Gigogin, my hope
With your kisses you steal my heart "
And the story continues: he was sent as a soldier to Piedmont, and every morning there
he sent a flower on the water of a canal that passed through Milan.
Until one day ...
Him, known that the return
He was finally close
Above the water an orange blossom
She laid down one fine morning
You, seeing and guessing
The reason for that flower
To pick it up she pushed
So much so that she fell
Above the water, with that flower
Towards the sea she went away
And he too, for the pain
He did not return from Piedmont
He had a saffron collar
And the cyclamen-colored tailcoat
He came on foot from Lodi to Milan
To meet the beautiful Gigogin
She waited for him in the street
Among the stars clutching a flower
And in a dream of poetry
They found themselves united again
Narrow the leaf, wide the way;
have your say, because we said ...
a saffron-colored collar
The story of a love
