Hi Johan
I have this song on a CD called Encore, sung by Russell Watson.
Whether it is your song I do not know, but it is the same tune
Here are the words.
It is called Va Pensiero
Va Pensiero, sull' ali dorate
Cross the mountains and fly over the oceans
reach the land, find the place where all children go
every night after listening to this lullaby
there you'll find their heroes alive protecting their innocence
bless them all, their simple soul so pure and wonderful.
Va Pensierp, sull'ali dorate
let this beautiful dream carry on for all night long
Arpa d'or dei fatidici vati
perche muta dal salice pendi?
Le memorie nel petto raccendi
ci favella del tempo che fu.
Va Pensiero, sull'ali dorate
va, ti posa sul clivi, sui colli
ove olezzano tepide e molli
l'aure dolci del suolo natal
Every night after listening to this lullaby
fly, thought, on wings of gold
Golden harp of the prophetic seers
why do you hang silent on the willow?
Rekindle memories in our hearts
and speak of times gone by.
Fly, thought, on wings of gold
go settle upon the slopes and the hills
where, soft and mild, the sweet airs
of our native land smell fragrant.
I copied those from the CD.
Margaret
