Vecchia Zimarra

Old Overcoat

Vecchia Zimarra

Old overcoat, listenVechia zimarra, senti

Old overcoat, listenVecchia zimarra senti
I stay on the ground, you ascendIo resto al pian, tu ascendere
The sacred mountain you must nowIl sacro monte or devi
Receive my thanksLe mie grazie ricevi
You never bowedMai non curvasti
Your worn back to the rich and powerfulIl logoro dorso ai ricchi ed ai potenti
Passing into your pocketsPassar nelle tue tasche
Like in quiet caves, philosophers and poetsCome in antri tranquilli, filosofi e poeti
Now that the happy days fleeOra che I giorni lieti fuggir
I say to you: Goodbye! My faithful friend!Ti dico: Addio! Fedele amico mio!
Goodbye, goodbye!Addio, addio!
