La luna e' alta com’e' svelta

forse non t’ha visto mai

senno' starebbe qui a guardarti

non andrebbe a letto mai

ninna nanna sotto gli alberi

e tu inventami qualche favola

stelle non fate briciole

la luce fa male all’amore

buonanotte buonanotte

ai delfini ai naviganti

ai lampioni ai fiori e ai vecchi mendicanti

buonanotte a voi amanti

buonanotte buonanotte

anche a chi non dormira' e’a chi lo fa

a chi ha perso un altro giorno di cammino

e a chi invece e’gia' vicino

buonanotte a un sogno piccolo

perche' poi si avverera' e non lo sa

alle donne ai cacciatori senza mira e senza cuore

buonanotte amore

la luna aspetta

questa notte forse non se ne andra' via

perche' la gente e' dolce quando dorme

sa di nostalgia

buonanotte buonanotte

ai bambini a tutti quanti

ai paesi con le case senza niente

buonanotte alla mia gente

buonanotte buonanotte

alla pace se verra' noi siamo qua

a chi inventa in un sorriso di speranza

e a chi sbaglia e non ci pensa

buonanotte ai cuori teneri

che non tremeranno mai

al silenzio al tuo respiro a questa notte che ora muore

buonanotte amore

The moon is as high as it is fast

perhaps she has never seen you

hindsight would be here watching you

she would never go to bed

lullaby under the trees

and you invent me some fairy tale

stars do not make crumbs

light hurts love

goodnight goodnight

to dolphins to sailors

to street lamps, flowers and old beggars

goodnight to you lovers

goodnight goodnight

even to those who won't sleep and to those who do

to those who have lost another day of walking

and to those who are close instead

goodnight to a little dream

because then it will come true and he doesn't know it

to women to aimless and heartless hunters

Goodnight My Love

the moon waits

tonight maybe it won't go away

because people are sweet when they sleep

tastes of nostalgia

goodnight goodnight

to children to everyone

to countries with houses with nothing

goodnight to my people

goodnight goodnight

if peace comes, we are here

to whoever invents in a smile of hope

and to those who make mistakes and do not think about it

goodnight to tender hearts

that will never tremble

to the silence of your breath to this night that is now dying

Goodnight My Love
