Adiós Nonino

From a star as it twinkles
It'll signal me to come
For a light of eternity
When it calls me, I'll go
To ask about that boy
Who with his death, you lost
That with Nonino went away
When it tells me, come here
I'll be reborn, because

I am! The root, of the land
That was shaped with its clay
I am! Blood and skin, of that guy
Who gave me his seed
Goodbye Nonino, how long without you
Will the road be
Pain, sadness, the table and the bread!
And my goodbye, oh! My goodbye
To your love, your tobacco, your wine
Who? Without mercy, stole half of me
When they took you Nonino
Maybe one day, I too looking back
Like you, will say goodbye no more!

And today my old Nonino is a plant
It's the light, it's the wind and it's the river
This torrent of mine replaces
Prolonging in my being, his challenge
I succeed him in his blood, I sense it
And I feel in my voice, his own echo
This voice that once, sounded hollow to me
When I said goodbye goodbye Nonino

I am! The root, of the land
That was shaped with its clay
I am! Blood and skin
Of that guy
Who gave me his seed
Goodbye Nonino, you left your Sun
In my destiny
Your fiery passion, your creed of love
And that zeal, oh! Your zeal
To sow hope along the way
I am your hive and this drop of salt
That today cries for you Nonino
Maybe the day my string is cut
I'll see you and know there's no end
