Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Leggenda di Natale by Fabrizio De André from Italian to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Parlavi alla luna giocavi coi fiori
You talked to the moon playing with flowers
Avevi l'età che non porta dolori
You were the age that doesn't bring pain
E il vento era un mago, la rugiada una dea
And the wind was a magician, the dew a goddess
Nel bosco incantato di ogni tua idea
In the enchanted woods of your every idea
Nel bosco incantato di ogni tua idea
In the enchanted woods of your every idea
E venne l'inverno che uccide il colore
And came the winter that kills color
E un babbo natale che parlava d'amore
And a Santa claus who talked about love
E d'oro e d'argento splendevano i doni
And the gifts of gold and silver shone
Ma gli occhi eran freddi e non erano buoni
But the eyes were cold and they were not good
Ma gli occhi eran freddi e non erano buoni
But the eyes were cold and they were not good
Coprì le tue spalle d'argento e di lana
He covered your shoulders with silver and wool
Di pelle e smeraldi intrecciò una collana
Of leather and emeralds he weaves a necklace
E mentre incantata lo stavi a guardare
And while enchanted you were watching him
Dai piedi ai capelli ti volle baciare
From your feet to your hair he wanted to kiss you
Dai piedi ai capelli ti volle baciare
From your feet to your hair he wanted to kiss you
E adesso che gli altri ti chiamano dea
And now that others call you goddess
L'incanto è svanito da ogni tua idea
The enchantment has vanished from your every idea
Ma ancora alla luna vorresti narrare
But still at the moon you would like to narrate
La storia d'un fiore appassito a natale
The story of a flower withered at Christmas
La storia d'un fiore appassito a natale
The story of a flower withered at Christmas
