The song of wandering Aengus / La canzone di Aengus il vagabondo

Castelluccio is a dreamy place that reminded us a dreamy song: The song of wandering Aegus. The original version has words by W.B.Yeats and music of Donovan Leitch. Our proposal is by Angelo Branduardi (Cuggiono, Milano 12 febbraio 1950) a popular Italian singer who published in 1986 "Branduardi sings Yeats"

We are always looking for love

we keep wandering

we get old seeking

But a dream always accompanies us

will we find it in our last dream …?

THE SONG OF WANDERING AENGUS

By: W.B. Yeats

I went out to the hazel wood,

Because a fire was in my head,

And cut and peeled a hazel wand,

And hooked a berry to a thread;

And when white moths were on the wing,

And moth-like stars were flickering out,

I dropped the berry in a stream

And caught a little silver trout.

When I had laid it on the floor

I went to blow the fire a-flame,

But something rustled on the floor,

And some one called me by my name:

It had become a glimmering girl

With apple blossom in her hair

Who called me by my name and ran

And faded through the brightening air.

Though I am old with wandering

Through hollow lands and hilly lands,

I will find out where she has gone,

And kiss her lips and take her hands;

And walk among long dappled grass,

And pluck till time and times are done

The silver apples of the moon,

The golden apples of the sun.

Siamo sempre alla ricerca dell'amore...

Continuiamo a vagabondare cercando...

Diventiamo vecchi nel cercare...

Ma un sogno ci accompagna sempre...

Lo ritroveremo nell'ultimo sogno...?
