The AccordionGianni Morandi, when he was very, very young… |

| La fisarmonica | The accordion | |||||
| stasera suona per te | this evening plays for you | |||||
| per ricordarti un amore | to remind you of a love | |||||
| uno di tanti anni fa, | one from many years ago | |||||
| la fisarmonica. | The accordion | |||||
| Ma tu non piangere | But don’t you cry | |||||
| non si cancella così, | it can’t be erased like that | |||||
| torna più grande che mai | it returns, greater than ever | |||||
| il desiderio di te | the desire for you | |||||
| quando vivevi felice con me. | when you lived happily with me | |||||
| Se chiudo gli occhi | If I close my eyes | |||||
| vedo il tuo viso | I see your face | |||||
| rivedo il tuo sorriso | I see your smile again | |||||
| ma le mani lontane | but the hands far apart | |||||
| non si stringono più. | no longer clasp each other | |||||
| La fisarmonica | The accordion | |||||
| stasera suona per noi | this evening plays for us | |||||
| torna più grande che mai | it returns greater than ever | |||||
| il desiderio di te | the desire for you | |||||
| la fisarmonica suona per me | the accordion plays for me | |||||
| Era di notte | It was night | |||||
| c’era la luna | there was a moon | |||||
| baciavo le tue labbra, | I kissed your lips | |||||
| era l’ultima volta | it was the last time | |||||
| te ne andavi da me, | that you left me | |||||
| amor | love | |||||
Wow, just found your blog, it’s going to be a fun read. We share a birthday (I’m older than you!) so I expect to really enjoy your writing..
You divorced Italy! I’m afraid I might do the same thing. My husband keeps making noises about how he’d like to live there for a couple years and I always change the subject. I’d rather love it from afar than to have to choke on the climate or whatever else would send me over the top.
