Folle banderuola
Crazy weather vane
Folle banderuola del mio cuore
Crazy weather vane of my heart
Che giri, giri, giri con il vento
That spins, spins, spins with the wind
Sul tetto rosso del mio amore
On the red roof of my love
Folle banderuola
Crazy weather vane
Folle banderuola segnatempo
Crazy weather vane timekeeper
Che giri con il sole, con il lampo
That spins with the sun, with the lightning
Sul tetto rosso del mio amor
On the red roof of my love
Non temere se il cielo si oscura
Do not fear if the sky darkens
E' una nuvola passeggera
It's just a passing cloud
Fra le braccia mio amor
In my arms, my love
Ti rinserro
I will hold you tight
Così ritornerà l'azzurro
So the blue will return
Folle banderuola
Crazy weather vane
Folle banderuola stravagante
Crazy, extravagant weather vane
Lassù dal tetto vedi che son tante
Up there from the roof, you see there are many
Le folli, folli come te
The crazy ones, crazy like you
Non temere se il cielo si oscura
Don't fear if the sky darkens
E' una nuvola passeggera
It's a passing cloud
Fra le braccia mio amor
In my arms, my love
Ti rinserro
I hold you tight
Così ritornerà l'azzurro
So the blue will return
Folle banderuola
Crazy weather vane
Folle banderuola stravagante
Extravagant crazy weather vane
Lassù dal tetto vedi che son tante
Up there from the roof you see there are many
Le folli, folli come te
The crazies, crazies like you
