La nebbia che si posa la mattina
The fog that settles in the morning
Le pietre di un sentiero di collina
The stones of a hillside path
Il falco che s'innalzerà
The hawk that will soar high
Il primo raggio che verrà
The first ray that will come
La neve che si scioglierà
The snow that will melt away
Correndo al mare
Running to the sea
L'empreinte d'une tête sur un oreiller blanc
The imprint of a head on a white pillow
Le dandinement des tous premiers pas d'un enfant
The swaying of a child's first steps
Pour un regard qui parlera
For a gaze that will speak
Pour une main qui se tendra
For a hand that will reach out
Pour l'ami que tu retrouveras
For the friend you will meet again
Pour tout ça et ce qui viendra
For all this and what’s to come
Je chante
I sing
Par tous les temps, je chante
Through all the seasons, I sing
Pour les enfants, je chante
For the children, I sing
Pour les amants, je chante
For the lovers, I sing
Corro nel vento e canto
I run in the wind and sing
La vita intera e canto
My whole life and I sing
La primavera e canto
Springtime and I sing
La mia preghiera e canto
My prayer and I sing
Per chi mi ascolterà
For those who will listen to me
Voglio cantare
I want to sing
Sempre cantare
Always sing
Le tout petit matin pas encore éveillé
The little morning not yet awake
Les premiers bruits dehors et l'odeur du café
The first sounds outside and the smell of coffee
L'ascenseur qui ne marche pas, ma ville endormie par le froid
The elevator that doesn’t work, my city asleep in the cold
La dame du café tabac qui me sourira
The lady from the café tobacco who will smile at me
L'eau du fleuve ridée par le souffle du vent
The river's water rippled by the breath of the wind
Un petit vieux qui va solitaire à pas lents
An old man walking alone at a slow pace
Et puis le temps qui passera, le blé qui demain mûrira
And then time will pass, the wheat that will ripen tomorrow
Et la main qui le cueillera, pour ça et pour qui sera
And the hand that will gather it, for this and for whom it will be
Je chante
I sing
Par tous les temps, je chante
Through all times, I sing
Pour les enfants, je chante
For the children, I sing
Pour les amants, je chante
For the lovers, I sing
Corro nel vento e canto
I run in the wind and sing
La vita intera e canto
All of life and I sing
La primavera e canto
Springtime and I sing
L'ultima sera e canto io
The last evening and I sing
Per chi mi ascolterà
For those who will listen to me
Voglio cantare
I want to sing
Sempre cantare
Always to sing
Cantare
To sing
(Canto), le mani in tasca
(I sing), my hands in my pockets
(Canto), la voce in festa e canto
(I sing), my voice in celebration, and I sing
La vita intera e canto
My whole life, and I sing
Cheveux au vent, je chante (canto)
Hair in the wind, I sing (canto)
Je chante (canto)
I sing (canto)
La vie entière, je chante (canto)
My entire life, I sing (canto)
Io canto (canto)
I sing (canto)
(Pour qui m'écoutera) Pour qui m'écoutera (canto)
(For those who will listen to me) For those who will listen to me (I sing)
Per chi mi ascolterà (canto)
For those who will hear me (I sing)
Io canto (canto)
I sing (I sing)
Canto

Canto

Canto
