That Day That Summer...


Carbonia, Cagliari, 1950, Federico Patellani. Italian (1911 - 1977)


” We do not remember days, we remember moments. The richness of life lies in memories we have forgotten ”

Cesare Pavese (1908 - 1950) 

*

” 私たちはかつての日々を憶えてはいない。私たちが思い出せるのは瞬間瞬間だけだ。
人生の真の豊かさは私たちが忘れてしまった思い出の裡に眠っている。”

チェーザレ・パヴェーゼ

If I had to choose just one day
To last my whole life through
It would surely be that Sunday
The day that I met you

Newborn whippoorwills were calling from the hills
Summer was a-coming in but fast
Lots of daffodils were showing off their skills
Nodding all together, I could almost hear them whisper
"Go on, kiss her, go on and kiss her"

If I had to choose one moment
To live within my heart
It would be that tender moment
Recalling how we started
Darling, it would be when you smiled at me
That way, that Sunday, that summer
