Samarcanda - 1997 Digital Remaster

Ridere, ridere, ridere ancora
Ora la guerra paura non fa
Brucian le divise dentro il fuoco la sera
Brucia nella gola, vino a sazietà
Musica di tamburelli fino all′aurora,
Il soldato che tutta la notte ballò
Vide fra la folla quella nera signora,
Vide che cercava lui e si spaventò...

"Salvami, salvami, grande sovrano,
Fammi fuggire, fuggire di qua,
Alla parata lei mi stava vicino
E mi guardava con malignità..."

"Dategli, dategli un animale
Figlio del lampo, degno d'un re
Presto, più presto, perché possa scappare
Dategli la bestia più veloce che c′è..."

"Corri cavallo, corri, ti prego,
Fino a Samarcanda io ti guiderò
Non ti fermare, vola, ti prego,
Corri come il vento, che mi salverò...

Oh oh, cavallo,
Oh oh, cavallo
Oh oh, cavallo
Oh oh, cavallo
Oh oh...

Fiumi, poi campi, poi l'alba era viola
Bianche le torri che infine toccò,
Ma c'era tra la folla quella nera signora
Stanco di fuggire, la sua testa girò...

"Eri tra la gente nella capitale
So che mi guardavi con malignità
Son scappato in mezzo ai grilli e alle cicale,
Son scappato via, ma ti ritrovo qua!"

"Sbagli, t′inganni, ti sbagli, soldato,
Io non ti guardavo con malignità
Era solamente uno sguardo stupito,
Cosa ci facevi l′altro ieri là?
T'aspettavo qui, per oggi, a Samarcanda
Eri lontanissimo due giorni fa,
Ho temuto che per ascoltar la banda
Non facessi in tempo ad arrivare qua..."

"Non è poi così lontana Samarcanda,
Corri cavallo, corri di là,
Ho cantato insieme a te tutta la notte
Corri come il vento che ci arriverà..."

Oh oh, cavallo
Oh oh, cavallo
Oh oh, cavallo
Oh oh, cavallo
Oh oh...

Samarkand - 1997 Digital Remaster

Laugh, laugh, laugh again
Now the war does not frighten
Uniforms burn inside the evening fire
It burns in my throat, wine to satiety
Music of tambourines until dawn,
The soldier who danced all night
He saw that dark lady in the crowd,
He saw that she was looking for him and he was frightened...

"Save me, save me, great sovereign,
Let me escape, escape from here,
At the parade she was standing next to me
And she was looking at me with malice..."

"Give him, give him an animal
Son of lightning, worthy of a king
Quickly, more quickly, so he can escape
Give him the fastest beast there is..."

"Run horse, run, I beg you,
To Samarkand I will guide you
Don't stop, fly, I beg you,
Run like the wind, and I will be saved..."

Oh oh, horse,
Oh oh, horse,
Oh oh, horse,
Oh oh, horse,
Oh oh...

Rivers, then fields, then the dawn was violet
White towers that he finally touched,
But there was that dark lady in the crowd,
Tired of escaping, his head was spinning...

"You were among the people in the capital,
I know you were watching me with malice
I escaped among the crickets and cicadas,
I escaped, but I find you here!"

"You're wrong, you're mistaken, you're wrong, soldier,
I wasn't looking at you with malice
It was just a look of surprise,
What were you doing the day before yesterday?
I was waiting for you here, for today, in Samarkand
You were far away two days ago,
I was afraid that to listen to the band
You wouldn't have time to get here..."

"Samarkand is not that far,
Run horse, run over there,
I sang with you all night
Run like the wind, and we will get there..."

Oh oh, horse
Oh oh, horse
Oh oh, horse
Oh oh, horse
Oh oh...
