Venice is gonna die, someday
Venice is gonna die
I can't imagine
Without a sigh
That one day, Venice, at the bottom of the waters,
Will see every boat
Like a lighting wreck,
A novel under the sea.
Venice has wounds
On every stone of every wall,
(Has) serenades that make cry
The whole world
Venice has doves
Which chose this part of the world
And which, one day, won't know
Where to lay anymore, anymore
Venice is gonna die, someday
Venice is gonna die
We see, in the middle of winter,
The sea opening up
And then Venice disappears.
It's like if you told me
That one day the Earth, at dawn,
Looses its Sun.
I own Venice,
All its palaces, all its gardens,
Its cathedrals and its bell towers
Must stay
Because Venice has too many lovers
Who die a little saying
"We live on love alone" and that Venice is gonna die
Someday, someday, someday
