One Fine Day

One fine day, you'll find me
A thread of smoke arising
On the sea in the far horizon
And then the ship appearing

Then the trim white vessel
Glides into the harbour
Thunders forth her cannon
See you, now he is coming

I do not go to meet him
Not I
I stay upon the brow of the hill
And wait there
And wait for a long time

From out the crowded city
There is coming
A man in the distance
Climbing the hill

Chi sara, chi sara
E come sara giunto
Che dira, che dira
He will call 'Butterfly' from the distance
I, without answering hold myself concealed
A bit to tease him

One fine day, you'll find me (oh...)
A thread of smoke arising
On the sea in the far horizon
And then the ship appearing

This will all come to pass as I tell you
Banish your idle fears
For he will return
I know...

[Music]

I know he will return
