They Were You (From The Fantasticks) (originale)

When the moon was young,
When the month was May,
When the stage was hung for my holiday,
I saw shining lights
But I never knew:
They were you.
They were you.
They were you.
When the dance was done,
When I went my way,
When I tried to find rainbows far away,
All the lovely lights
Seemed to fade from view:
They were you.
They were you.
They were you.
Without you near me,
I can’t see.
When you’re near me,
Wonderful things come to be.
Every secret prayer,
Every fancy free,
Everything I dared for both you and me.
All my wildest dreams
Multiplied by two
They were you.
They were you.
They were you.
They were you.
They were you.
They were you.

(traduzione)

Quando la luna era giovane,
Quando il mese era maggio,
Quando il palco è stato appeso per le mie vacanze,
Ho visto luci splendenti
Ma non ho mai saputo:
eri tu.
eri tu.
eri tu.
Quando il ballo fu finito,
Quando sono andato per la mia strada,
Quando ho cercato di trovare arcobaleni lontani,
Tutte le belle luci
Sembrava scomparire dalla vista:
eri tu.
eri tu.
eri tu.
Senza te vicino a me,
Non riesco a vedere.
Quando sei vicino a me,
Cose meravigliose nascono.
Ogni preghiera segreta,
Ogni fantasia libera,
Tutto ciò che ho osato sia per te che per me.
Tutti i miei sogni più selvaggi
Moltiplicato per due
eri tu.
eri tu.
eri tu.
eri tu.
eri tu.
eri tu.
