Tango Italiano
Milva
Italian Tango
I lived alone alone in a distant country
beyond the sea.
One evening I was walking with no one
to stroll
among a thousand colored lights
and a thousand jukeboxes
playing jazz tunes.
A familiar note rose
and my heart stopped at that moment.
An Italian tango,
a sweet tango,
I heard one night playing
under a distant sky.
That Italian tango,
that sweet tango,
with thoughts made me fly
from my distant love.
At that moment on the wings of the wind
I wanted to go,
and from my love my discontented heart
wanted to return.
An Italian tango,
a sweet tango,
brought a call of love
to my tired and nostalgic heart,
and made me forever return
to my Italian love.
la, la, la, la, la, la.......
This Italian tango
