Va'pensiero sull'ali dorate Cross the mountains and fly Over the oceans. Reach the land find the place Where all children go Everynight after listening to this lullaby.
There you'll find their heroes alive Protecting their innocence Bless them all 'cos their simple soul is so pure and wonderful.
Va' pensiero sull'ali dorate, L'aure dolci del suolo natal! Arpa d'ôr dei fatidici vati Perchè muta dal salice pendi?
Lead them back to the light, back to the light Where they once used to belong Where they can remain Children as long as they want.
Va, pensiero, sull'ali dorate, Va, ti posa sui clivi, sui colli
Reach the land find the place Where all children go Everynight after listening to this lullaby Everynight after listening to this lullaby
