THE RING OF FORTUNE
Lyrics and Music: Giovanni Mastrangelo

Moon and the Sun were hiding the ring
The ring that the fortune she gave to the sand
New dawn was rising with luminous wings
Jester was playing dice in a Fairyland.

All that she touched changed in gold
And the river now seems so old
And I'm walking on the same stony road
But I'll take my love in the spring.

Lady of the castle was singing a song
When the red moon was kissing the gloom
She always thought that life was too long
Too long to be lived in a room.

And the forest was shining bright
Full of jewels and carnival lights
Fairest ladies and heart-broken knights
Can I remember my song?

And now just for a while
I could give her a smile
She never listened to the story I've told.

She has lost the ring of Fortune.
