Elle souriait

Salvatore Adamo Salvatore Adamo

She Smiled

The night hung its sails
On the moon and the stars
And under the vast canopy
I waited for the morning
Was I far from this crazy world?
Where Queen Reason has chained the fairies
The warm sun caressed me
When I opened my eyes, she was there
She smiled, she smiled,
She smiled, she smiled
She smiled and never had a smile
Been so sweet
She smiled and with her smile
All the flowers came to life
She smiled,
And I was like a child in awe
For I was being born to tenderness and summer
She fed me honey and dew
And like a bride
Delighted, she reached out her hand
And ran around the bend in the road
I heard the song of a river
She was bathing there, naked and light
And when a shiver from the wave
Brought back my dream, my Mona Lisa
She smiled, she smiled,
She smiled, she smiled
She smiled,
And like a rose
She glistened with drops of water
She smiled when she fell asleep
Cradled by a thousand birds' songs
She smiled when happily,
I got lost in her green eyes
To find my paradise and my hell
She smiled
When she sang, weaving a lavender necklace
She smiled
When looking at the sky
She offered it to me
She smiled
When she said to me
I belong to whoever comes to find me
I’ll stay here, don’t cry
Since you know where to find me
My name is FREEDOM.
