I cannot stay still
with hand in hand (with idle hands)
So many things I must do
before tomorrow comes...
And if she is already sleeping
I cannot rest
I'll do such things that, when she wakes up
She won't be able to forget me anymore
In order that this long night
doesn't become blacker then black
Make yourself big, sweet Moon
and fill the entire sky
And so that that smile of hers
would come back again
Shine, sun, tomorrow morning
like you never did before
And then, to make her sing songs
that she has learned
I'll build for her a silence
that nobody ever heard
I'll wake up all lovers
I'll talk for hours and hours
Let's embrace more stronger
because she wants love
Then, let's run through the streets
and let's start dancing
Because she wants joy,
because she hates rancour
Then, with colored paint buckets
let's paint all the walls
Of homes, alleys and palaces
because she loves colors
Let's pick up all the flowers
that Spring can give us
Let's build a cradle for her
to love each other when evening falls
Then, let's climb to the sky
and catch a star for her
Because Margherita is good,
because Margherita is beautiful
Because Margherita is sweet,
because Margherita is real
Because Margherita loves
and she does it for the whole night
Because Margherita is a dream,
because Margherita is a life's salt
Because Margherita is a wind
and she doesn't know that she can hurt
Because Margherita is everything
and she is my madness
Margherita, Margherita
Margherita now...is mine
Margherita (now)...is mine - (the lyrics end with Margherita adesso...e mia)
