Favola Lyrics in English by Modà
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Favola by Modà from Italian to English.
Ora vi racconto una storia che
Now I'll tell you a story that
Farete fatica a credere
You'll find hard to believe
Perché parla di una principessa
Because it talks about a princess
E di un cavaliere che
And a knight who
In sella al suo cavallo bianco
On his white horse
Entrò nel bosco
Entered the forest
Alla ricerca di un sentimento
In search of a feeling
Che tutti chiamavano amore
That everyone called love
Prese un sentiero che portava
He took a path that led
A una cascata dove l'aria
To a waterfall where the air
Era pura come il cuore di quella
Was pure like the heart of that
Fanciulla che cantava
Maiden who was singing
E se ne stava coi conigli
And she stayed with the rabbits
I pappagalli verdi e gialli
The green and yellow parrots
Come i petali di quei fiori che
Like the petals of those flowers that
Portava tra i capelli
She wore in her hair
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Il cavaliere scese dal suo cavallo bianco
The knight got off his white horse
E piano piano le si avvicinò
And slowly approached her
La guardò per un secondo
He looked at her for a second
Poi le sorrise
Then he smiled at her
E poi pian piano iniziò a dirle
And then slowly began to tell her
Queste dolci parole
These sweet words
Vorrei essere il raggio di sole che
I'd like to be the sunbeam that
Ogni giorno ti viene a svegliare per
Comes to wake you every day to
Farti respirare e farti vivere di me
Make you breathe and make you live for me
Vorrei essere la prima stella che
I'd like to be the first star that
Ogni sera vedi brillare perché
You see shining every evening because
Così i tuoi occhi sanno
So your eyes know
Che ti guardo
That I'm watching you
E che sono sempre con te
And that I'm always with you
Vorrei essere lo specchio che ti parla
I'd like to be the mirror that talks to you
E che a ogni tua domanda
And that to every question of yours
Ti risponda che al mondo
Answers you that in the world
Tu sei sempre la più bella
You're always the most beautiful
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
La principessa lo guardò
The princess looked at him
Senza dire parole
Without saying a word
E si lasciò cadere tra le sue braccia
And let herself fall into his arms
Il cavaliere la portò con se
The knight took her with him
Sul suo cavallo bianco
On his white horse
E seguendo il vento
And following the wind
Le cantava intanto
He sang to her meanwhile
Questa dolce canzone
This sweet song
Vorrei essere il raggio di sole che
I'd like to be the sunbeam that
Ogni giorno ti viene a svegliare per
Comes to wake you every day to
Farti respirare e farti vivere di me
Make you breathe and make you live for me
Vorrei essere la prima stella che
I'd like to be the first star that
Ogni sera vedi brillare perché
You see shining every evening because
Così i tuoi occhi sanno
So your eyes know
Che ti guardo
That I'm watching you
E che sono sempre con te
And that I'm always with you
Vorrei essere lo specchio che ti parla
I'd like to be the mirror that talks to you
E che a ogni tua domanda
And that to every question of yours
Ti risponda che al mondo
Answers you that in the world
Tu sei sempre la più bella
You're always the most beautiful
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Vorrei essere il raggio di sole che
I'd like to be the sunbeam that
Ogni giorno ti viene a svegliare per
Comes to wake you every day to
Farti respirare e farti vivere di me
Make you breathe and make you live for me
Vorrei essere la prima stella che
I'd like to be the first star that
Ogni sera vedi brillare perché
You see shining every evening because
Così i tuoi occhi sanno
So your eyes know
Che ti guardo
That I'm watching you
E che sono sempre con te
And that I'm always with you
Vorrei essere lo specchio che ti parla
I'd like to be the mirror that talks to you
E che a ogni tua domanda
And that to every question of yours
Ti risponda che al mondo
Answers you that in the world
Tu sei sempre la più bella
You're always the most beautiful
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Fanciulla — Maiden / Young woman
Fanciulla translates to "maiden" or "young woman". It's a charming and somewhat old-fashioned word that evokes a sense of innocence and classic storytelling.
In the context of "Favola" (Fable), it perfectly fits the fairytale narrative of a princess and a knight. While ragazza is the common word for a young woman, fanciulla adds a poetic and enchanting touch, making it memorable and unique to this song's theme.
