La Casa In Riva Al Mare
Lucio Dalla
The House By The Sea
From his cell he could only see the sea
And a white house in the middle of the blue
A woman would appear, Maria
That's the name he gave her
In the morning she would open the window
And he would think that's my home
You will be my companion Maria
A hope and a madness
And he dreamed of freedom
And he dreamed of leaving, leaving
And he already saw a ring
On Maria's hand
Long are the silences as long as the years
Sweet words that he imagines
Tonight I'm coming out Maria
I'm coming to keep you company
And the years are passing, all the years together
He already has white hair and doesn't know
Tonight I'm coming out Maria
You'll see how beautiful the city is
And he dreamed of freedom
And the years have passed, all the years together
And his eyes no longer see
He said again you are my woman
And then he was alone in the middle of the blue
I'm coming to you, Maria
