There goes my father He's looking at the sky He heard of some travellers Who make their dreams fly I looked into his eyes And saw a river deep and wide, he said Chorus: I will meet you at the water At the water we'll see each other Va, pensiero, sull'ali dorate; (Go, thought, on golden wings,) Va, ti posa sui clivi, sui colli, (Go, alight on cliffs, on the hills.) Ove olezzano tepide e molli (Where waft the warm and gentle.) L'aure dolci del suolo natal! (Sweet breezes of our native land) Chorus Oh mia patria si bella e perduta! (Oh, my fatherland, so beautiful and lost!) Oh membranza si cara e fatal! (Oh, remembrance so dear and fatal!) I see my brother I looked into his eyes And saw a river deep and wide He said Chorus O t'ispiri il signore un concento (O may the lord inspire us in thee an accord) Che ne infonda al patire virtu (Which might infuse our suffering with virtue) Che ne infonda al patire virtu (Which might infuse our suffering with virtue) Chorus In the water we'll see each other In the water we see each other Water water water Sometimes i wonder when they're gonna be free I'm waiting for the moment When the waters flow through me I see the many people Who have been here before me They're waiting for the moment When they're gonna be free
