I Found My Love In Portofino
Dalida · Other Songs - Dalida
Perchè nei sogni credo ancor
Lo strano gioco del destino
A Portofino m'ha preso il cuor
Nel dolce incanto del mattino
Il mare ti ha portato a me
Socchiudo gli occhi
E a me vicino
A Portofino
Rivedo te
Ricordo un angolo di cielo
Dove ti stavo ad aspettar
Ricordo il volto tanto amato
E la tua bocca da baciar
I found my love in Portofino
Quei baci più non scorderò
Non è più triste il mio cammino
A Portofino I found my love
Il y avait à Portofino
Un vieux clocher qui s'ennuyait
De ne sonner que les matines
Quand Portofino
Se réveillait
Mais après cette nuit divine
On l'entendit sonner un jour
Même jusqu'aux villes voisines
De Portofino
Pour notre amour
Je vois le marié qui m'emporte
Vers le petit chalet de bois
Dont il me fait franchir la porte
En me portant entre ses bras
A chaque fois qu'à Portofino
Le vieux clocher sonne là-haut
Il chante notre mariage
Vers les nuages
A Portofino
I found my love
I found my love
I Found My Love In Portofino
