Ho visto Nina volare [English translation]

Chew and spit

On one side honey

Chew and spit

On the other side wax

Chew and spit

Before the snow comes.

Light, faraway light

Lower than the stars

The same hand will

Light you up and put you out

I've seen Nina flying

Among the ropes of the swing

One day I will catch her

Like the wind at your back

And if my father knows this

I'll have to leave town

If my father knows

I'll have embark on a ship

Chew and spit

On one side honey

Chew and spit

On the other side wax

Chew and spit

Before the snow comes

Tonight the shadow came

The shadow that mocks me

I showed her the knife

And my mulberry mask

And if my father knows

I'll start walking

If my father knows

I'll embark for a distant land

Chew and spit

On one side honey

Chew and spit

On the other side wax

Chew and spit

Before the snow comes

I've seen Nina flying

Among the ropes of the swing

One day I will catch her

Like the wind at your back

Light, faraway light

Lower than the stars

The same hand will

Light you up and put you out

Chew and spit

Before the snow comes
