Quel fior che all'alba ride

Language: Italian (Italiano)

Our translations: ENG

Quel fior che all'alba ride
Il sole poi l'uccide,
E tomba ha nella sera.

È un fior la vita, la vita ancora.

L'occaso ha nell'aurora,
E perde in un sol dì la primavera.

That flower that laughs at daybreak

Language: English after the Italian (Italiano)

That flower that laughs at daybreak
Will be killed by the sun later on,
And has its tomb in the evening.

Life is a flower, life still.

It has its destruction in the dawn
And loses in one single day the springtime.
