Verse 1

The calendar had swallowed up my birthday.

Il calendario aveva inghiottito il mio compleanno.

I finished all the notes before the hallway cleared.

Finii tutti gli appunti prima che il corridoio si svuotasse.

A paper boat was waiting on my office chair.

Una barca di carta aspettava sulla sedia del mio ufficio.

Chorus

The little boat brings back the missing date.

La piccola barca riporta la data mancante.

A ribbon gives my plain cup something festive.

Un nastro dà alla mia tazza semplice qualcosa di festoso.

The calendar can leave one square for me.

Il calendario può lasciare un quadrato per me.

Verse 2

A child had drawn my glasses larger than my head.

Un bambino aveva disegnato gli occhiali più grandi della mia testa.

An older woman wrote a joke about my tea.

Una donna anziana scrisse una battuta sul mio tè.

Their folded cards made room beside the working papers.

I loro biglietti piegati trovarono posto accanto ai documenti di lavoro.

Chorus

The little boat brings back the missing date.

La piccola barca riporta la data mancante.

A ribbon gives my plain cup something festive.

Un nastro dà alla mia tazza semplice qualcosa di festoso.

The calendar can leave one square for me.

Il calendario può lasciare un quadrato per me.

Bridge

I set the boat against my open calendar.

Misi la barca contro il calendario aperto.

The ribbon stayed around the handle through the week.

Il nastro restò attorno al manico per tutta la settimana.

I took one evening home before the sun went down.

Portai a casa una sera prima che il sole tramontasse.

Final Chorus

The little boat brings back the missing date.

La piccola barca riporta la data mancante.

A ribbon gives my plain cup something festive.

Un nastro dà alla mia tazza semplice qualcosa di festoso.

The calendar can leave one square for me.

Il calendario può lasciare un quadrato per me.
