Angelo Branduardi io canto la ragazza dalla pelle scura

I sing the dark-skinned girl,
Like an oak in the wind, she walks swaying.
I. dry, I drank her love in full sips
until I felt my heart getting water.
she dies her hair like the feathers of the peacock

suddenly lights up the darkness of the night.
His cheeks are rosy in the hand of the sultan,

but. slender, her arm and a drawn sword.
The regular cadence of her body
is a vessel that sails safely...
It leaves the port, takes to the sea and goes. ..
