One day you'll find me A thread of smoke arising on the sea In the far horizon And then the ship appearing Then the trim white vessel Glides into the harbour forth her See you? Now he is coming I do not go to meet him Not I I stay upon the brow of the hill And wait there And for a long time never weary of the long waiting From out the crowded city There is coming a man in the distance Climbing the hill Chi sara? chi sara? come sara giunto Che dira? che dira? He will call, \"Butterfly\" from the distance I, without answering Hold myself quietly A bit to tease him
One fine you'll find me A thread of smoke arising on the sea In the far horizon And then ship appearing
This will all come to pass as I tell you Banish your idle fears For he will return I know know he will return
