Testo di Upstairs By a Chinese Lamp

Market in the cool white mornin' Merchants sell while women buy Milk, tobacco, soap and matches Sweep the floor While the dishes dry Spring whispered in her ear Like soft Mediterranean wailin' Sleepy woman by the window Dreamin' in the morning air Of the one who takes her sweetness By a chinese lamp upstairs The steam of china tea You could hear the woman sing In the soft flames of spring Spring has swept the scarlet side streets Winds caress, undress, invite Upstairs by a china lamp They softly talk in the cool spring night
