Ho Visto Nina Volare
Fabrizio De André
I Saw Nina Fly
Chew it up and spit it out
On one side the honey
Chew it up and spit it out
On the other the wax
Chew it up and spit it out
Before the snow comes
Light, light from afar
Lower than the stars
It'll be the same hand
That turns you on and off
I saw Nina fly
Between the swings' ropes
One day I'll catch her
Like the wind on my back
And if my dad knows
I'll have to change countries
If my dad knows
I'll set sail on the sea
Chew it up and spit it out
On one side the honey
Chew it up and spit it out
On the other the wax
Chew it up and spit it out
Before it snows
Tonight the shadow came
The shadow that mimics me
I showed her the knife
And my mulberry mask
And if my dad knows
I'll hit the road
If my dad knows
I'll sail far away
Chew it up and spit it out
On one side the wax
Chew it up and spit it out
On the other side the honey
Chew it up and spit it out before it snows
I saw Nina fly
Between the swings' ropes
One day I'll catch her
Like the wind on my back
Light, light from afar
That turns on and off
Which hand will it be
That lights up the stars
Chew it up and spit it out
Before the snow comes
