Belli capelli
Pretty hair
Capelli neri
Black hair
Che t'ho aspettata
That I've waited for you
Tutta notte
All night long
E tu chissà dov'eri
And you, who knows where you were
Capelli lunghi
Long hair
Che arrivavano
That flowed
Fino al mare
Down to the sea
Belli capelli
Pretty hair
Che nessuno li può tagliare
That no one can cut
Belli capelli
Lovely hair
Capelli d'oro
Hair of gold
Che in mezzo
That stood out
A tutta quanta quella gente
Among all those people
Mi sentivo solo
I felt so alone
Capelli d'oro
Hair of gold
Che sei partita
That you’ve departed with
E chi lo sa se torni
And who knows if you'll return
Belli capelli
Lovely hair
Che ti coprivano
That covered you
Tutti i giorni
Every day
Capelli lunghi
Long hair
Come autostrade
Like highways
La mattina
In the morning
Sopra il tuo cuscino
Above your pillow
Che quando tira vento
That when the wind blows
Diventano i capelli
Become the hair
Di un ragazzino
Of a young boy
Capelli così lontani
Hair so far away
Che nessuno li può vedere
That no one can see them
Capelli così sottili
Hair so thin
Che basta niente
That it takes nothing
Che li fai cadere
To make them fall
Belli capelli
Beautiful hair
Capelli bianchi
White hair
Che si fermarono
That stopped
A una fontana
At a fountain
A pettinare gli anni
Combing through the years
Capelli stanchi
Tired hair
Dentro allo specchio
In the mirror
Di un bicchiere di vino
Of a glass of wine
Belli capelli
Beautiful hair
Che stanotte è notte
Because tonight is night
Ma verrà mattino
But dawn will come
