Original text with translation
Angelo Branduardi
Fu così che al bosco andai
Chè un fuoco in capo mi sentivo
Un ramo di nocciolo io tagliai
Ed una bacca appesi al filo
Bianche falene vennero volando
E poi le stelle luccicando
La bacca nella corrente lanciai
E pescai una piccola trota d’argento
Quando a terra l’ebbi posata
Per ravvivare il fuoco assopito
Qualcosa si mosse all’improvviso
E col mio nome mi chiamò
Una fanciulla era divenuta
Fiori di melo nei capelli
Per nome mi chiamò e svanì
Nello splendore dell’aria
Sono invecchiato vagabondando
Per vallate e per colline
Ma saprò alla fine dove e’andata
La bacerò e la prenderò per mano;
Cammineremo tra l’erba variegata
Sino alla fine dei tempi coglieremo
Le mele d’argento della luna
Le mele d’oro del sole
So it was that I went to the woods
What a fire in my head I felt
A hazel branch I cut
And a berry hanging by the thread
White moths came flying
And then the stars twinkling
The berry in the current I threw
And I caught a small silver trout
When I had placed it on the ground
To revive the dormant fire
Something suddenly moved
And by my name he called me
A girl had become
Apple blossoms in the hair
By name she called me and vanished
In the splendor of the air
I got old wandering around
For valleys and hills
But in the end I will know where it went
I will kiss her and take her by the hand;
We will walk among the variegated grass
Until the end of time we will grasp
The silver apples of the moon
The golden apples of the sun
