Una chitarra e un'armonica [English translation]

He, a vagabond like me

aimless like me

he played a guitar and a harmonica

I, I was singing and him with me

I sang and he played varavan blem blem

We, we were only us two

for the first days, and then

ten, twenty, a hundred, a thousand and all those behind us1

And, in every country and little town

all together, we were singing varavan blem blem

Va varavan varavan blem blem

varavan varavan blem blem...

There, there are those who stay where they were born

then there're those who travel the world, and go

they go playing a guitar and a harmonica

I press myself2 to him at night

with the stars above us vara varavan blem blem

Va varavan varavan blem blem

varavan varavan blem blem...

Then, came the dawn and woke me up

I realized I was in3 my house

it was all a dream, how melancholic4

And my whole world came tumbling down56

and a teardrop sprang to my eye

But under my house I noticed7

a guy walking about8

he was playing a guitar and a harmonica

No, I wasn't dreaming, it was him

the one who watched me play varavan blem blem

Va varavan varavan blem blem

varavan varavan blem blem...
