                                                                                                                                        As if it has just been woken
                                                                                                                                        And reaches upward.

                                                                                                                                        Sometimes to meet the fog
                                                                                                                                        That descends
                                                                                                                                        Even though the sun is warm in the sky,
                                                                                                                                        Between them they hide the sun,
                                                                                                                                        Almost as if behind a veil
                                                                                                                                        For as long as they can.

                                                                                                                                        Its an enchanting time of the day,
                                                                                                                                        Small little struggles
                                                                                                                                        That go on to see who will dominate the day
                                                                                                                                        But inevitably the sun wins out.

                                                                                                                                        But for a while
                                                                                                                                        To be there when this magic occurs
                                                                                                                                        Is almost like being in another land.

                                                                                                                                        Dalla terra ricca di rugiada
                                                                                                                                        Si estende

                                                                                                                                        E raggiunge verso l'alto.

                                                                                                                                        A volte, per incontrare la nebbia
                                                                                                                                        che scende
                                                                                                                                        Anche se il sole è caldo nel cielo,
                                                                                                                                        Tra di loro si nascondono il sole,
                                                                                                                                        Quasi come se dietro un velo
                                                                                                                                        Per quanto tempo che possono.

                                                                                                                                        Questo, un tempo incantevole del giorno,
                                                                                                                                        Piccole lotte
                                                                                                                                        Per arrivare a chi dominerà il giorno
                                                                                                                                        Ma inevitabilmente il sole vince.

                                                                                                                                        Ma per un po '
                                                                                                                                        Per essere presente quando questa magia si verifica
                                                                                                                                        È quasi come essere in un'altra terra.
