Era de Maggio
Roberto Murolo
It was May
It was May and the young cherries were falling
With a crackle, crackle, there the red cherries
The air was fresh and the whole garden
Smelled of roses at every step
It was May, I can't forget it
A song we sang together in two voices
The more time passes, the more I remember
The air was fresh and the song sweet
And it said: Heart, heart
My heart, you're going far away
You leave me and I count the hours
Who knows when you'll come back
I replied: I'll come back
When the roses return
If this flower returns in May
I'll stay here
If this flower returns in May
I'll stay here
And I returned and now, like once
We sang together the old song
Time passes and the world changes
But true love, never changes
I fell in love with you, my beauty
If you remember, in front of the fountain
The water inside never dries up
And a love wound never heals
And I tell you: Heart, heart
My heart, I have returned
May returns and love returns
Make of me what you want
May returns and love returns
Make of me what you want
May returns and love returns
Make of me what you want!
