Samarcanda (Remastered)

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 (Remastered)

Laugh, laugh, laugh again
Now the war is not afraid
The uniforms burn in the fire in the evening
It burns in the throat, plenty of wine
Music of tambourines until dawn
The soldier who danced all night
He saw that dark lady among the crowd
He saw that she was looking for him and he was frightened...
"Save me, save me, great sovereign
Make me run away, run away from here
At the parade she was next to me
And she looked at me with malice..."
"Give him, give him an animal
Son of lightning, worthy of a king
Quickly, quickly, so that he can run away
Give him the fastest beast there is..."
"Run horse, run, I beg you
I will guide you to Samarkand
Don't stop, fly, I beg you
Run like the wind, that I will save myself..."
Oh, oh, horse
Oh, oh, horse
Oh, oh, horse
Oh, oh, horse
Oh, oh...
Rivers, then fields, then dawn was purple
The white towers that he finally touched
But there was that dark lady among the crowd
Tired of running away, his head spun...
"You were among the people in the capital
I know you were looking at me with malice
I ran away in the middle of the crickets and cicadas
I ran away, but I find you here!"
"You're wrong, you're mistaken, you're wrong, soldier
I was not looking at you with malice
It was just a surprised look
What were you doing the day before yesterday there?
I was waiting for you here, for today, in Samarkand
You were very far two days ago
I was afraid that to listen to the band
You did not have time to arrive here..."
"Samarkand is not that far away
Run horse, run away from there
I sang with you all night
Run like the wind which will take us there..."
Oh, oh, horse
Oh, oh, horse
Oh, oh, horse
Oh, oh, horse
Oh, oh...
