Celeste

You will have your father's eyes
And his melancholy
The timeless silence that pervades
At sunset the tide
You will arrive with the September moon
Which will pour
Her milk inside me
And I will love you
As happens in fairy tales
Forever…

I will wait for you
Without leaving
As the swallows already do in the air
In my land
That gets old but
In the wake of another age
Dancing dreams
While the tender light of the east
At dawn it lights up hopes and
Brooms
And the sky is so... heavenly...
Heavenly …

You will have books, sandals and buckets
Luminous "amarcord"
Your hair will be black like mine
But in a moment I know
You will fly away
Towards the distant island of a city
Like I did one day too
My love
Because the sun can forget
Of the moon...

I will wait for you
And sooner or later
You will arrive without even making a sound
I'll hear you
And you will stay
While now the leaves are changing color
To my country that you still don't know
Where autumn smells of roasted chestnuts
And the sky is so... heavenly!

Like the breath of life
Which also opens the shutters
And he invites you to smile
Even when you don't want it
This wind in love
That you too will breathe
That you will breathe…

And then I will have the courage
To wait a little longer
And I promise you'll see from the windows
A sky so... heavenly...
Heavenly…
A sky like this
Heavenly…
