Buonanotte fiorellino [English translation]

Good night, good night my love,

Good night between the phone and the sky.

Thank you for having astounded me,

For having sworn me that it’s true.

The corn on the fields is ripe

And I need you so much

The blanket is frozen, and summer is over.

Good night, this night is for you.

Good night, good night little flower

Good night between the stars and this room,

To dream of you, I have to have you close,

And close is still not enough.

Just now, a sunbeam has landed

right on my expired ticket

Between your snowflakes, your tea leaves

Goodnight, this night is for you

Good night, good night little coin,

Good night between the sea and the rain,

The sadness will be gone by tomorrow morning

And the ring will stay on the beach,

The little birds in the wind never get hurt,

They have wings that are bigger than mine,

And from dawn to dusk they’re alone in the sun

Good night, this night is for you.
