Lyrics and translation Patrizio - Vola cardillo

Vola cardillo

E' primmavera
L'aria se fa doce
Canta ogni cosa
Int' all'azzurrita'
E tu cardillo mio
Nun tiene voce
Si' cantautore
Ma nun vuo' canta'
Tu pienze a chi t'aspetta
E forse s'e' stancato
E t'aspetta'

Io stongo chiuso
Dint 'a sti' cancelle
E tu si' priggiuniere
Comme 'a mme
Ma nun puo' sta' accussi'
Tu si' n'auciello
'O sole 'o cielo 'o mare
Attuorno a te
E vola auciello va
E vola auciello va
Io ca nun so' chiu' libero
Te dong 'a liberta'

Vola cardillo mio
Famme felice
Vola po' munno
E nun te scurda' e me
Si qualche vota 'o core
Tuoie te' dice
Tuorne pe' nu' mumento
'A me vede'
Io resto dint 'a sta cella
Pecche' nun songo n'auciello
Comme 'a te

Ma nun puo' sta accussi'
Tu si' n'auciello
'O sole o ciel 'o mare
Attuorno ate
E vola auciello va –
E vola auciello va
Io ca' nun so' chiu' libero
Te' dongo 'a liberta'

The Goldfinch Flies

It's springtime
The air turns sweet
Everything sings
In the blue sky
And you, my goldfinch
You have no voice
You're a singer
But you don't want to sing
You think about who's waiting for you
And maybe he's tired
And he's waiting for you

I'm locked up
Inside these bars
And you're a prisoner
Like me
But you can't stay like this
You're a bird
The sun, the sky, the sea
Around you
And fly, little bird, fly
And fly, little bird, fly
I'm not free anymore
I give you freedom

Fly, my goldfinch
Make me happy
Fly into the world
And don't forget me
If sometimes your heart
Tells you
To come back for a moment
To see me
I'll stay in this cell
Because I'm not a bird
Like you

But you can't stay like this
You're a bird
The sun, the sky, the sea
Around you
And fly, little bird, fly –
And fly, little bird, fly
I'm not free anymore
I give you freedom
