Quasi Sera - Luigi Tenco

Quasi sera

E tu eri con me

Eravamo seduti

Accanto al mare

Quasi sera

E là, sopra la sabbia

C’erano ancora i segni

Del nostro amore

Ricordo

Che tu mi parlavi

Io stavo guardando

Una vela passare:

Era bianca

Era gonfia di vento

Era l’ultima vela:

Era ormai quasi sera

Quasi sera…

E non ricordo altro

Né la voce che avevi

Né il nome che avevi

Quasi sera…

E poi non t’ho più vista

Non ho mai più saputo

Di te, della tua vita

Ricordo

Di noi soprattutto

La vela bianca che a un tratto

Sfiorò il nostro amore:

Era bianca

E dopo un momento

Io la stavo cercando

Ma non c’era che il vento

Almost evening

And you were with me

We were seated

Next to the sea

Almost evening

And there, above the sand

There were still the signs

Of our love

I remember

That you were talking to me

I was watching

A sail pass:

It was white

She was swollen with wind

It was the last sail:

It was now almost evening

Almost evening ...

And I don't remember anything else

Nor the voice you had

Nor the name you had

Almost evening ...

And then I never saw you again

I never knew again

Of you, of your life

I remember

Above all of us

The white sail that suddenly

Touched our love:

She was white

And after a moment

I was looking for it

But there was only the wind
