Santa Lucia [English translation]

Santa Lucia, for all those who have eyes

and a heart that's not enough for their eyes

and for the tranquility of the one who goes on the sea

and for each tear on your dress

for who hasn't understood yet

Santa Lucia, for the one who drinks at night

and dies at night, and reads at night

and falls on his last metre

for the friends who go away and turn back

upon having lost their soul and their wings

For the one who lives at the crossroads of the winds

and is burnt alive

for the easygoing people who never have a doubt

for our crown of stars and thorns

for our fear of darkness and fantasy

Santa Lucia, the violin of the needy is a ship whose bottom has broken

and a little boy who sings on the second floor,

laughing and singing out of tune to go away

making sweet even the rain in his shoes
