Volume I: La canzone di Barbara - Barbara's Song

Chi cerca una bocca infedele che sappia di fragola e miele in lei la troverà Barbara in lei la bacerà Barbara. Lei sa che ogni letto di sposa è fatto di ortica e mimosa per questo ad un'altra età Barbara l'amore vero rimanderà Barbara. E intanto lei gioca all'amore scherzando con gli occhi ed il cuore di chi forse la odierà Barbara ma poi la perdonerà Barbara. E il vento di sera la invita a sfogliare la sua margherita per ogni amore che se ne va lei lo sa un altro petalo fiorirà per Barbara. La canzone di Barbara © 1967 Fabrizio De André/Gian Piero Reberberi "La canzone di Barbara" was written perhaps with the thought of it being a follow-up to the very successful "La canzone di Marinella." But the song met with little success and was never included in De André's live performances. The song was dedicated to photographer Barbara Rombi Serra, who later took the cover photo for the second edition of La buona novella.

Whoever searches for unfaithful lips that taste like strawberry and honey, in her they will find them - Barbara. In her they will kiss them - Barbara. She knows that every marriage bed is made of nettle and mimosa. For this, until another age Barbara will delay true love, Barbara. And meanwhile she plays at love, joking with the eyes and the heart of whoever will perhaps hate her, Barbara, but then will pardon her, Barbara. And the evening breeze invites her to pick petals from a daisy for every love that is gone. She knows another petal will bloom for Barbara.
