Ten Tenors Water - Va Pensiero Lyrics

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
