Quelli erano giorni [English translation]

Once upon a time there was a road

a good wind led me down there

and if memory does not deceive me

at the corner you were present.

Those were the days

yes, they were days and you

no, do not ask for more from the world

we danced a little and without music

there was a lot more in our heart.

You know, then the roses with the passing of time

one morning does not flourish anymore

and so things went

even the good wind never blew again.

Those were the days

yes, they were days and you

no, do not ask for more from the world

and thinking back to me, I get a knot here

and if I sing, this it loses is meaning

Today I'm back in that street

a good memory brought me there

You were with a group of people

and you said, "Dear friends,

those were days, yes, they were days and you

no, do not ask for more from the world

we danced a little without music,

beyond there passed our youth "
