The River (Le Colline Sono in Fiore)

So still runs the river

On its journey to the sea

So still beats my heart

For you're far, so far away from me

So still runs the river

While I wait upon the shore

Amore ritorna

For my love goes on forevermore

Like the river forevermore

I threw a pebble in the river

We watched the ripples flow

You sighed, "My darling, see, my darling

That's just the way our love will grow"

And then I kissed you, how I remember

But, oh, I never knew

That like the ripples on the water

Your love would soon be fading, too

So still runs the river

On its journey to the sea

So still beats my heart

For you're far, so far away from me

So still runs the river

While I wait upon the shore

Amore ritorna

For my love goes on forevermore

Like the river forevermore

Like the river forevermore
