Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Via del campo by Fabrizio De André from Italian to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Via del campo c'è una graziosa
Via del Campo there is a pretty
Gli occhi grandi color di foglia
Large leaf-colored eyes
Tutta notte sta sulla soglia
All night stands on the threshold
Vende a tutti la stessa rosa
Sells the same rose to everyone
Via del campo c'è una bambina
Via del campo there is a little girl
Con le labbra color rugiada
With dew-colored lips
Gli occhi grigi come la strada
Grey eyes like the road
Nascon fiori dove cammina
Hide with flowers where he walks
Via del campo c'è una puttana
Way of the Field there is a whore
Gli occhi grandi color di foglia
Large leaf-colored eyes
Se di amarla ti vien la voglia
If you want to love her
Basta prenderla per la mano
Just take it by the hand
E ti sembra di andar lontano
And you feel like you're going far
Lei ti guarda con un sorriso
She looks at you with a smile
Non credevi che il paradiso
You didn't believe that paradise
Fosse solo lì al primo piano
He was just there on the first floor
Via del campo ci va un illuso
Via del Campo there goes an deluded
A pregarla di maritare
To beg her to marry
A vederla salir le scale
To see her climb the stairs
Fino a quando il balcone è chiuso
Until the balcony is closed
Ama e ridi se amor risponde
Love and laugh if love responds
Piangi forte se non ti sente
Cry loudly if you don't feel
Dai diamanti non nasce niente
Nothing comes from diamonds
Dal letame nascono i fior
From manure are born the flowers
Dai diamanti non nasce niente
Nothing comes from diamonds
Dal letame nascono i fior
From manure are born the flowers
