Io Canto/Je Chante

The fog that settles in the morningLa nebbia che si posa la mattina
The stones of a hillside pathLe pietre di un sentiero di collina
The falcon that will soarIl falco che s'innalzerà
The first ray that will comeIl primo raggio che verrà
The snow that will melt running to the seaLa neve che si scioglierà correndo al mare

The imprint of a head on a white pillowL'empreinte d'une tête sur un oreiller blanc
The wobbling of a child's very first stepsLe dandinement des tout premiers pas d'un enfant
For a look that will speakPour un regard qui parlera
For a hand that will reach outPour une main qui se tendra
The friend you will meet againL'ami que tu retrouveras
For all that and what will comePour tout ça et ce qui viendra

I singJe chante
In all weathers I singPar tous les temps Je chante
For the children I singPour les enfants Je chante
For the lovers I singPour les amants Je chante
I run in the wind and singCorro nel vento e canto
I sing my whole lifeLa vita intera canto
I sing springLa primavera canto
I sing my prayerLa mia preghiera canto
For those who will listenPer chi mi ascolterà
I want to singVoglio cantare
always singsempre cantare

The very early morning not yet awakeLe tout petit matin pas encore éveillé
The first sounds outside and the smell of coffeeLes premiers bruits dehors et l'odeur du café
The elevator that doesn't workL'ascenseur qui ne marche pas
My city asleep from the coldMa ville endormie par le froid
The lady from the coffee-tobacco shopLa dame du café-tabac
Who will smile at meQui me sourira
The river water rippled by the breath of the windL'eau du fleuve ridée par le souffle du vent
An old man walking alone with slow stepsUn petit vieux qui va solitaire á pas lents
And then the time that will passEt ouis le temps qui passera
The wheat that will ripen tomorrowLe blé qui demain mûrira
And the hand that will pick itEt la main qui le cueillera
For that and for what will bePour ça et pour ce qui sera

I singJe chante
In all weathers I singPar tous les temps Je chante
For the children I singPour les enfants Je chante
For the lovers I singPour les amants Je chante
I run in the wind and singCorro nel vento e canto
I sing my whole lifeLa vita intera canto
I sing springLa primavera canto
I sing the last eveningL´ultima sera canto
For those who will listenPer chi mi ascolterà
I want to singVoglio cantare
always singsempre cantare
