Il Castello (original)Il Castello (translation)
E se passate fate piano, And if you pass, take it easy,
che fata dorme dal mattino what a fairy sleeps since morning
che l’uomo per la guerra le partì that the man for war left her
e dietro la collina si sbiadì and faded behind the hill
e nel castello sopra il fiordo, and in the castle above the fjord,
la luce sfiora per ricordo the light touches as a reminder
le coppe che restarono cosi; the cups that remained thus;
e il vento smuove le vetrate and the wind moves the windows
e a volte un’eco di risate and sometimes an echo of laughter
un tempo risuonavano da lì once resounded from there
ma non passateci d’aprile but don't spend there in April
che non potreste più vedere that you will no longer be able to see
le rose come quando lui era qui; roses like when he was here;
E quando c’era lui le sale And when he was there he salt them
erano piene mille sere they were full a thousand evenings
di gente e luci e scherzi di buffoni, of people and lights and jokes of fools,
e feste fino all’alba e poi canzoni; and parties until dawn and then songs;
e lui stringeva fra le dita and he held it in his fingers
la pietra verde della vita the green stone of life
e chi partiva sempre ritornò and whoever left always returned
tornò anche un figlio trovatore a troubadour son also returned
scappato senza far rumore escaped without making a sound
per altre luci che poi non capì for other lights that he then didn't understand
e un drago fatto con la paglia and a dragon made of straw
bruciava all’alba sulla soglia it burned at dawn on the threshold
perche il dolore non entrasse lì so that the pain did not enter there
— Tu che ne sai che passi e guardi — - What do you know that you pass and look -
di fata e tutti i suoi ricordi fairy and all her memories
del sogno che ha battuto la realtà? of the dream that beat reality?
la polvere si è fatta antica the dust has become ancient
e sul sentiero c'è l’ortica and on the path there is nettle
ma fata non ci crede e non lo sa but fairy doesn't believe it and she doesn't know it
ha fretta e l’abito è sgualcito she is in a hurry and her dress is creased
ma è la gran sera che ha aspettato but it is the great evening that she has been waiting for
e il conto della sabbia è fermo già and the bill of sand is already stopped
e — lui che bussa e lui che torna qua, and - he who knocks and he who comes back here,
e si riaccendono le luci and the lights come on again
ad una ad una stanze e voci one by one rooms and voices
e servi e cani ancora tutti là and servants and dogs all still there
è lui, sorride sulla porta it's him, he smiles at the door
è lui lo stesso di una volta he is the same as he used to be
ma chiede scusa e non l’abbraccerà but he apologizes and will not hug her
ha gli occhi stanchi, è sempre bello, he has tired eyes, he is always beautiful,
ma tiene addosso quel mantello but he keeps that cloak on
che non si toglie e non si toglierà.that he does not take off and will not take off.
