La rosa nera
Gigliola Cinquetti
The Black Rose
A rose in the evening
never turns black.
They destroyed a swallow's nest,
threw a rock up there.
They cut the wings of a butterfly
and the butterfly doesn't move anymore.
They're changing the world,
they're killing me.
But a rose in the evening
never turns black.
They took a man to the border
and since that day he hasn't been seen.
They threw ink in the stream
and in the stream, one can't drink anymore.
They're changing the world,
they're killing me.
But a rose in the evening
never turns black.
And everything goes, and everything goes
until the earth explodes.
And everything goes, and everything goes
until the earth explodes.
And everything goes, and everything goes
until the earth explodes.
And everything goes, and everything goes
until the earth explodes.
And everything goes, and everything goes
until the earth explodes.
