An old man by a seashore
At the end of day
Gazes the horizon
With seawinds in his face
Tempest-tossed island
Seasons all the same
Anchorage unpainted
And a ship without a name
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard
He lightens the beacon, light at the end of world
Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts
The ones on their travels homeward from afar
This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind long ago
The albatross is flying
Making him daydream
The time before he became
One of the world`s unseen
Princess in the tower
Children in the fields
Life gave him it all:
An island of the universe
Now his love`s a memory
A ghost in the fog
He sets the sails one last time
Saying farewell to the world
Anchor to the water
Seabed far below
Grass still in his feet
And a smile beneath his brow
This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind so long ago
L'isolano
Un vecchio su una spiaggia
Al tramonto
Scruta l'orizzonte
Con i venti che gli investono il volto
Isola scossa dalle tempeste
Tutte le stagioni allo stesso modo
Ancoraggio non verniciato
E una nave senza nome
Mare senza un litorale per il bandito inascoltato
Egli accende il faro, luce alla fine del mondo
Mostrando la via accendendo la speranza nei cuori
Di coloro che sono di ritorno da lontano
Questa è una a lungo dimenticata
Luce alla fine del mondo
L'orizzonte piange
Le lacrime che egli ha lasciato indietro tanto tempo fa
L'albatro vola
Facendolo sognare ad occhi aperti
Del tempo prima che diventasse
Uno dei dispersi del mondo
Principessa nella torre
Bambini nei campi
La vita gli ha dato tutto
Un'isola dell'universo.
Ora il suo amore è un ricordo
Un fantasma nella nebbia
Egli sistema le vele un'ultima volta
Dicendo addio al mondo
Ancora nell'acqua
Il fondo marino lontano laggiù
Erba ancora tra i suoi piedi
E un sorriso sotto la sua fronte
Questa è una a lungo dimenticata
Luce alla fine del mondo
L'orizzonte piange
Le lacrime che egli ha lasciato indietro tanto tempo fa

Bm B/E BbMaj7
Tempest-tossed island, seasons all the same

BM G D A Bm G D Em Bm
This is the long for-got-ten light at the end of the world
G D A Bm G D Em
Ho-ri-zon cry-ing the tears we left behind long ago
The albatross is flying
There's hate in their greed
The time before me one day when all was the sea
Princess in the tower
Children in the field
Life giving it all
And all of the universe
Oh, now is as a memory
The ghost in the fog
He sets the sails
And laughs to say farewell to the world
Anchor to the water
Sea be far below
Laughing in the heat
And a smile beneath his brow
This is the long forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears we left behind long ago
So long ago
This is the long forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears we left behind long ago
So long ago

The ones on their travels homeward from afar

Making him daydream

The time before he became

One of the world's unseen

An island of the universe

A ghost in the fog

He sets the sails one last time

Saying farewell to the world

Anchor to the water

Seabed far below
A G
Grass still in his feet
A Bm
And a smile beneath his brow
