Finche La Barca Va
Orietta Berti
As Long as the Boat Goes
The cricket said one day to the ant:
"You have bread for the winter!
Why do you always protest about the wine?
Wait for the grape harvest and you'll have it."
It seems to me like my brother who had a skyscraper in Peru,
He wanted to reach the sky and now the skyscraper is no longer his.
Chorus:
As long as the boat goes, let it go,
As long as the boat goes, don't row,
As long as the boat, just watch,
When love comes, the bell will ring,
When love comes, the bell will ring.
And you who always live under the sun,
Among rows of brooms and lilacs.
In your country, there are those who love you
Why do you dream of city women?
It seems to me like seeing my sister who had a boyfriend from Cantu,
She wanted to have one in China too, and the boyfriend is no longer hers.
Chorus.
Tonight the bell rang for me, it's strange, I already have love.
I would like to quickly open my gate, curiosity is killing me.
But the cricket said one day to the ant: "You have bread for the winter"
I would like to quickly open my gate, but that gate I never open!
Chorus. (x3)
