  3. The translation is a little lame, it doesn't do much justice to the poetic feel of the song. If you like Francesco, he wrote some really outstanding songs in the 70's like this one RAGGIO DI SOLE (ray of sunshine)

    ATLANTIDE (Atlantis)

    or FESTIVAL a song dedicated to the alleged suicide of the Italian singer Luigi Tenco in 1967

    this is just to mention a few.
    If you like Francesco, maybe you should also check out FABRIZIO DE ANDRE possibly the best song writer of all time in Italian music.
    If you want any suggestions please don't be afraid to ask. ciao
