Lyrics and translation Sergio Endrigo - La colomba

La colomba

Ma si sbagliò la colomba
Ma si sbagliava
Cercava il nord, ma era il sud
Pensò che il grano era l'acqua
Ma si sbagliava

Pensò che il mare era il cielo
E la notte, la mattina
Ma si sbagliava
Ma si sbagliava

Vedeva stelle, era rugiada
Aveva caldo, c'era la neve

E si sbagliava perché credeva
La tua gonna, la tua blusa
Il tuo cuore, la sua casa
Ma si sbagliava, ma si sbagliava

Pensò che il mare era il cielo
E la notte, la mattina
Ma si sbagliava
Ma si sbagliava

Vedeva stelle, era rugiada
Aveva caldo, c'era la neve

E si sbagliava perché credeva
La tua gonna, la tua blusa
Il tuo cuore, la sua casa
Ma si sbagliava, ma si sbagliava

The Dove

But the dove was mistaken
Oh, she was mistaken
She was searching for the north, but it was south
She thought the wheat was water
Oh, she was mistaken

She thought the sea was the sky
And the night was morning
Oh, she was mistaken
Oh, she was mistaken

She saw stars, it was dew
She was hot, but it was snowing

And she was mistaken, because she believed
Your skirt, your blouse
Your heart, her home
But she was mistaken, oh, she was mistaken

She thought the sea was the sky
And the night was morning
Oh, she was mistaken
Oh, she was mistaken

She saw stars, it was dew
She was hot, but it was snowing

And she was mistaken, because she believed
Your skirt, your blouse
Your heart, her home
But she was mistaken, oh, she was mistaken
