In the rainy courtyard
In the wet wind of a summer night
A cat jumped onto the roof
Tea in a cup, hands in the wind

Since you left that day
Nothing is the same
Tonight seems longer than last night
Rain makes the flowers fall

Bricks are building life,
How many cracks so fragile are here
Bright eyes once filled with dreams
Cannot open when the morning comes

Since you left that day
Nothing is the same
Tonight seems longer than last night
Rain makes the flowers fall

Bricks are building life,
How many cracks so fragile are here
Bright eyes once filled with dreams
Cannot open when the morning comes

Napoletano:Oje né', fa' priesto viene!
Nun mme fá spantecá
Ca pure 'a rezza vène
Ch'a mare stó' a mená

Méh, stienne sti bbraccelle,/
Ajutame a tirá
Ca stu marenariello
Te vò' sempe abbracciá

Vicin'ô mare, facimmo 'ammore
A core a core, pe' nce spassá

Só' marenaro e tiro 'a rezza
Ma, p''allerezza, stóngo a murí

Vide ca sbatte ll'onna
Comm'a stu core ccá
De lacreme te 'nfonne
Ca 'o faje annammurá

Viene, 'nterr'a 'sta rena
Nce avimm''a recrijá
Che scenne la serena
Io po' stóngo a cantá

Vicin'ô mare,

Oje né', io tiro 'a rezza
e tu statte a guardá
li pisce, p''a prijezza,
comme stanno a zumpá!

E vide, pure 'e stelle tu faje annammurá
ca stu marenariello,
tu faje suspirá

English:Come on dear, hurry, come here!
Don't make wait and suffer
The fishing net is coming too
That i've cast

Stretch your thin arms
Help me to pull (the net)
That this young sailor
Always wants to hug you

We make love near the sea
Heart to heart, to have fun

I'm a sailor and i pull the net
But I feel like i'm almost dying of happiness

See, the lashing of the waves
Like the beat of this heart of mine
It washes you with tears
Because you make it fall in love (with you)

Come, on this shore
We'll have fun
Here comes the sunset (or the evening)
And I'm here singing

Hey dear, I pull the net
And you stay there and watch
How the fishes for joy
Are jumping

And look, you can make fall in love with you even the stars
This young sailor
You make sigh

Ici et maintenant, c’est tout ce qui compte,Cueillir la saveur de l’instant
Ici et maintenant, à chaque seconde
Je me nourris du présent…

Dans les vagues de Biarritz disparaît le fracas du monde
Pas un jour pas un solstice sans l’écume qui vagabonde
Au fond des âmes brûle un sésame
C’est le présent qui s’enflamme

Dans les mots que tu me glisses
: des secondes suspendues
Faudrait il que j’abolisse le temps qui passe et les vertus
Je laisse fuir les âmes d’artistes, les sentiments hédonistes…

Dans les rides de tes yeux, les minutes ralentissent
Dans tes gestes voluptueux se dessinent les délices

Ici et maintenant, Dans la douceur
Que donne le souffle du temps
Ici et maintenant, c’est tout ce qui compte,
Cueillir la saveur de l’instant
Ici et maintenant, à chaque seconde
Je me nourris du présent…

English translation :

HERE AND NOW

Here and now, that's all that matters
Pick the flavor of the moment
Here and now, every second
I feed on the present ...

In the waves of Biarritz,
disappears the
turmoil
of the world
Not a day,
not a solstice without the foam that roams
Deep in the
soul burns a
sesame
It's the present that ignites
it.

In the words you
whispered: suspended seconds
Should I abolish the passage of time and the virtues
I let the souls of artists flee, the hedonistic feelings ...

In the wrinkles of your eyes, the minutes slow down
In your voluptuous gestures
we see
the delight
Here and now, In the sweetness

Which time
breathes
Here and now, that's all that matters
Pick the flavor of the moment
Here and now, every second
I feed on the present ...
