Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sorvolando Eilat by Fiorella Mannoia from Italian to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
L'anima è partita a mezzogiorno e adesso va
The soul left at noon and is now going
Vaga sorvolando la città
He wanders flying over the city
Presto punterà decisamente verso sud
Soon it will head decidedly south
Mare aperto, va al deserto
Open sea, goes to the desert
Sotto c'è Israele nella sua immobilità
Below is Israel in its immobility
Coi suoi cieli chiari controllati
With its controlled clear skies
Mare azzurro stretto dai deserti un po' più in là
Blue sea narrowed by deserts a little further away
Spiagge rosse sorvolando Eilat
Red beaches flying over Eilat
E le montagne nude sorvolando Eilat
And the naked mountains flying over Eilat
L'anima si apre come il vento e corre giù
The soul opens like the wind and runs down
Entra nell'imbuto blu di Assab
Enter Assab's blue funnel
Poi si getta a destra e punta ancora verso sud
Then it turns right and heads south again
Sull'Etiopia lì sdraiata, assolata
Over Ethiopia lying there, sunny
Bimbi, tende e il vento se li prende vuol giocare
Children, tents and the wind takes them and wants to play
Bimbi, tende e il vento se li prende
Children, tents and the wind takes them
Senza capire, senza guardare
Without understanding, without looking
Spiagge rosse sorvolando Eilat
Red beaches flying over Eilat
E le montagne nude sorvolando Eilat
And the naked mountains flying over Eilat
