These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Attraverso il buio giovanna d'arco
Through the Dark Joan of Arc
Precedeva le fiamme cavalcando
He preceded the flames riding
Nessuna luna per la corazza ed il manto
No moon for armor and manto
Nessun uomo nella sua fumosa notte al suo fianco
No man in his smoky night by his side
Sono stanca della guerra ormai
I'm tired of war now
Al lavoro di un tempo tornerei
At work of the time I would come back
A un vestito da sposa o a qualcosa di bianco
To a wedding dress or something white
Per nascondere questa mia vocazione al trionfo ed al pianto
To hide my vocation to triumph and weep
Son parole le tue che volevo ascoltare
These are your words that I wanted to hear
Ti ho spiato ogni giorno cavalcare
I spied on you every day riding
E a sentirti così ora so cosa voglio
And to feel so now I know what I want
Vincere un'eroina così fredda, abbracciarne l'orgoglio
Winning such a cold heroine, embracing her pride
E chi sei tu lei disse divertendosi al gioco
And who are you she said having fun at the game
Chi sei tu che mi parli così senza riguardo
Who are you who speaks to me so without regard
Veramente stai parlando col fuoco
Actually, you're talking to fire
E amo la tua solitudine, amo il tuo sguardo
And I love your loneliness, I love your gaze
E se tu sei il fuoco raffreddati un poco
And if you're the fire cooled a little
Le tue mani ora avranno da tenere qualcosa
Your hands will now have something to hold
E tacendo gli si arrampicò dentro
And silently he climbed into him
Ad offrirgli il suo modo migliore di essere sposa
To offer him his best way to be a bride
E nel profondo del suo cuore rovente
And deep in his red-hot heart
Lui prese ad avvolgere giovanna d'arco
He took to wrap joan of arc
E là in alto e davanti alla gente
And up there and in front of people
Lui appese le ceneri inutili del suo abito bianco
He hung the useless ashes of his white dress
E fu dal profondo del suo cuore rovente
And it was from the depths of his red-hot heart
Che lui prese giovanna e la colpì nel segno
That he took joan and struck her in the sign
E lei capì chiaramente
And she clearly understood
Che se lui era il fuoco lei doveva essere il legno
That if he was the fire she was to be the wood
Ho visto la smorfia del suo dolore
I saw the grimace of his pain
Ho visto la gloria nel suo sguardo raggiante
I saw the glory in his radiant gaze
Anche io vorrei luce ed amore
I too would like light and love
Ma se arriva deve essere sempre così crudele e accecante
But if it comes it must always be so cruel and blinding
