Sant'allegria (Bem Leve)

And it rises, rises, and climbs higher to the surface
on top of a mountain, a sky full of stars
and the evening falls, but it’s so short tonight
black, black coast, some hope and some leave
one prayer, two prayers, I will pray
in the doubt of the evening
another line, half a line, I will wait
hoping it’s true.

And the sun, sun that rises, red and shining
in the midst of a desire, a star falls, falls
star, star that falls among the things, the streets
this is what happens
for those who come and those who go.

Saint joy, saint love, you’re leaving
listen to me tonight
another line, half a line, I will wait
hoping it’s true.

And the shadow of a flower rises, rises
calm rainbow from pain to pain
the evening falls, but it’s so short tonight
black, black coast, some hope and some leave.

One prayer, two prayers, I will pray
in the doubt of the evening
another line, half a line, I will wait
hoping it’s true.

Saint joy, saint love, you’re leaving
listen to me tonight
another line, half a line, I will wait
hoping it’s true.
