Lady Laura [English translation]

Sometimes I desire to be

again a little boy

and to hear you once again

when I'm heartbroken,

to ask you to embrace me

and to take me back home,

to tell me a nice fairy tale

and to rock me to sleep.

How many times I wanted to hear you

telling me with a smile on your face:

"Make the most of your time,

as long as you're still young."

Despite the distance and time

I cannot forget

all these things which sometimes

I need to hear from you.

Lady Laura, hold me tight,

Lady Laura, and tell me a fairy tale,

Lady Laura, and kiss me once again,

Lady Laura!

Lady Laura, hold me tight,

Lady Laura, rock me to sleep,

Lady Laura, and kiss me once again,

Lady Laura!

Many times at night

I feel lost

distressed by problems

which elderly people have,

with your hand on my shoulder

for sure you would say:

"You'll see that tomorrow

things get better."

When I was a child

I could cry in your arms

and hear so many beautiful things

when I was suffering.

In my happy times

I laughed sitting by your side.

And in my hard times

you gave me your heart.

Lady Laura, hold me tight,

Lady Laura, and tell me a fairy tale,

Lady Laura, and rock me to sleep,

Lady Laura!

Lady Laura, hold me tight,

Lady Laura, take me home,

Lady Laura, and tell me a fairy tale,

Lady Laura!

Sometimes I desire to be

again a little boy,

a little boy,

which you still believe I am.

When I sometimes embrace you

and kiss you, in understanding silence

you tell me things

I need to know.

Lady Laura, hold me tight,

Lady Laura, and tell me a fairy tale,

Lady Laura, and kiss me once again,

Lady Laura!

Lady Laura, hold me tight,

Lady Laura, take me home,

Lady Laura, and kiss me once again,

Lady Laura!

Lady Laura, Lady Laura, Lady, Lady, Lady, Lady, Lady Laura!

Lady Laura, Lady Laura, Lady Laura!
