NINA [English translation]

Dark night, clear night, you will end,

Night of bombing, night that don't know

that Nina cried for the fear in a milk shop,

lost in the refuge under his home...

In a "Liala" book there is her serenity,

Rome now is too stingy and won't listen to you...

and to meet him, him that comes from so far

probably has been the only gift for her...

"Where do you go, what you will do, how many years do you suppose have I...

do you still believe in love, and if you believe in it, why ???"

"I don't know where I'll go, I suppose you have your real age,

I still believe in love, because it has your eyes..."

"I don't know what I'll do, I will give you my age,

I still believe in love, because he will have your eyes, your eyes..."

Nina lives in Trastevere and will wait for him

and he lives in San Lorenzo and reaches her by tram,

and when the envy of the war will get big,

only Nina can take him away...

But the war is at the door and had knocked yet,

the uniform of a soldier and a photo,

and Nina would never let him go away,

to see him crying and getting older as a prisoner...

"Where do you go, where are you, Nina, wait still for me,

This winter will come to an end, and also this one hour envy,

where do you go, where are you, my sweetest love,

how many stars I have counted on the roof for you..."

"Where do you go, where are you, my lost love,

I will wait for you every night at the door if you want,

where do you go, where are you, Nina, wait still for me my love,

a train will soon pass, and I will be able to come back..."

"Where do you go, where are you Nina, do you still believe in love ???"

"I still believe in love because it will have your eyes..."
