Saigon
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Donna giovane del Vietnam
com'è strano coltivare il mare,
quanti fiori ti ha dato già
quanti libri te ne potrà dare.
Da qui a Saigon la strada è buona.
Terra libera, terra nera,
quest'autunno cambierai colore,
sarà il vento e sarà la pioggia
che cadrà senza bagnarti il cuore.
Da qui a Saigon la strada è buona.
C'è mio figlio che ha occhi grandi
quando guarda verso Sud,
c'è il tramonto che lo accarezza
quando guarda verso Sud.
Da qui a Saigon la strada è buona.
Cerca il cielo attraverso i rami,
cerca il cielo e lo troverai,
sole nasce e sole muore
ed il cielo non cambia mai.
Da qui a Saigon non cambia mai.
