Τρίτο Στεφάνι [Trito Stefani] [English translation]

Third ring1, my heart what should I treat you

now that I can't get some sleep to forget

like a fairy tale, (my) grandmother Hecuba, mother Nina

fire in my breast, red fate (like) serpentine

[Chorus:]

Lost, lost are most of the things

tired bodies, timid bodies

where have they went, where have they gone so many acquaintances

they're caught up in the night ball

The first ring a deep wound

the second one reaches some other earth

the third ring a company

that we lived, that's the beauty of it

Third ring, oh my White Tower2, my Parthenon

the same dress both in summer and winter.

a bride of fate, a heart into pieces with a tango

before I slip into oblivion kiss me, look me in the eyes.

(chorus)
