Inverno a Sarajevo - Giuni Russo

Era lungo l’inverno a Sarajevo

Fischiava un vento freddo a tramontana

Non mi scaldava il cuore

Era quasi Natale, mi mancavi

Era freddo l’inverno a Sarajevo

Per strada a volte si ballava Strauss

Notti chiare, preludio di mistero

Di neve s’imbiancava la citt?

Bagliori dal braciere sulle icone

L’amore che scoppiava dentro me Canti dolci di tzigani intorno a noi

Nella tua casa a Sarajevo rester?

Declinava l’impero degli Asburgo

Leggevo di nascosto Thomas Mann

Il profumo d’incenso nella chiesa

Saliva nella mente fino a te Bagliori del tuo volto nelle icone

Chiudevo gli occhi e mi stringevo a te Canti dolci di tzigani intorno a noi

Nella tua casa a Sarajevo rester?

It was a long winter in Sarajevo

A cold north wind was blowing

It didn't warm my heart

It was almost Christmas, I missed you

It was cold winter in Sarajevo

Strauss was sometimes danced on the street

Clear nights, a prelude to mystery

Did the city turn white with snow?

Glows from the brazier on the icons

The love that burst inside me Sweet songs of Gypsies around us

Will you stay in your home in Sarajevo?

The Habsburg empire was declining

I was secretly reading Thomas Mann

The scent of incense in the church

It rose in the mind up to you. Flashes of your face in the icons

I closed my eyes and hugged you Sweet songs of gypsies around us

Will you stay in your home in Sarajevo?
