Quella Carezza Della Sera

When my father returned, I heard the voices
I forgot my games and ran there
I hid in the shadow of the big garden
and challenged him to find us: I'm here.

Then they put me to bed after dinner
she turned off the light and left
I stayed alone and was afraid
but I didn't ask anyone: stay a little.

I no longer know the taste
of that hope I felt growing in me.
I no longer know if I miss more
that evening's caress or the desire for adventure
the desire to go away, far.

Those autumn days seemed eternal
when I asked my mother where you were
I didn't understand what that shadow in her eyes was
and I started to think: I miss you.

I no longer know the taste
of that hope I felt growing in me.
I no longer know if I miss more
that evening's caress or the desire for adventure
the desire to go away, far.
