Samarcanda (1997 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 Remastered)

Laughing, laughing, laughing again
Now war is no longer feared
Uniforms burn in the evening fire
Fire burns in the throat, with plenty of wine
Music of tambourines until dawn
The soldier who danced all night long
Saw in the crowd that dark lady
She saw that she was looking for him, and he was frightened...

"Save me, save me, great king
Let me flee, flee away from here
She was standing next to me at the parade
And she looked at me with malice..."

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

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

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

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

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

"You're wrong, you're mistaken, you're wrong, soldier
I didn't look at you with malice
It was just a look of surprise
What were you doing the day before yesterday over there?
I was waiting for you here, today, in Samarkand
You were very far away two days ago
I feared that to listen to the band
You wouldn't arrive here on time..."

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

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