When I am before the bridge
I wish I could become a beautiful view
And you, I wish you were the fountain
From which I have to drink:
I wish I could become a beautiful view!
I wish you were a thief
So you could steal my love,
Which is as deeply red
As the oleander's blossoms;
I wish you were a thief!
I want to be this well's wall
Or to become its rope,
So I could talk to you when you are
Getting water all on your own;
I wish I could become a rope!
I wish I could become a dove
For the three months of Summer...
And, do you know where I'd build my nest?
In the place they call S'a Torre;
I wish I could become a dove!
