L'edera
Gigliola Cinquetti
The Ivy
I'm here, in your arms again
Wrapped tight like ivy.
I'm here, breathing in your breath
I'm the ivy tied to your heart.
I'm crazy for you and this youth
In a supreme longing
I want to offer you my soul
Without ever asking for anything.
So, you'll feel me this way
Wrapped tight like ivy
Because, in every breath I take,
You’ll feel my heart beating.
As long as light and love shine on this world
As long as I’m allowed to live
I’ll bind myself to you
I’ll dedicate
My life to you.
I'm the ivy for you
I'm the ivy tied to you.
