You walked with him through the
arcades of the heaven
through the unending gardens of the paradise
Didn't you perceive Dante was so
flushed and shaken
whence with all the love he
looked into your eyes

Oh Beatrice! Dante loved you so, wouldn't you want to know
that for you he wrote a
million lover's lines
Dante loved you so, wouldn't
you want to know
that for you he built
a splendid paradise

I hope, you noticed O Bice, in the roses
he looked for your grace, he looked
for you in the moon and in the stars,
in the sun of morn he looked for your face
And so it was very rough
On earth it was not enough
He built a bridge of million lines
And sought you in his paradise

Oh Beatrice! Dante loved you so
wouldn't you want to know
that for you he wrote a
million lover's lines
Dante loved you so
wouldn't you want to know
that for you he built
a splendid paradise

My love, you noticed O Bice
lives from me half a world away
I look for her in the moon and
in the stars
in the sun of morn I look for her face
And so it is very rough
On earth it is not enough
I'll build bridge of million lines
And make on earth a paradise

Oh Beatrice! Dante loved you so
wouldn't you want to know
that for you he wrote
a million lover's lines
Dante loved you so,
wouldn't you want to know
that for you he built
a splendid paradise
