[Verse 1]
Among arid shrubs
And broken paths
There where the wind
Seems to have forgotten the way
There’s a blue door
In a small place called Barchetta
A little corner of sky
For those who have no sky
[Chorus]
Eternal flower in Barchetta
You grow in the dust
ParadiseDog and Cornelia Shelter
Hold stray hearts close
Calatafimi watches you and promises
Here no one is left alone
This love that never fades
Gives a future to those who have none
[Verse 2]
Calatafimi
Ancient and proud
Written on houses made of stone
Today it adds another line
To its long history
Thanks to Nely and her Ciccio
Every muzzle finds a new beginning
Where before there was nothing
Now a city beats with life
[Chorus]
Eternal flower in Barchetta
You grow in the dust
ParadiseDog and Cornelia Shelter
Hold stray hearts close
Calatafimi watches you and promises
Here no one is left alone
This love that never fades
Gives a future to those who have none
[Bridge]
Sicily in the heart
Sun that burns and comforts
Every trembling paw
Finds a home in your hands (oh)
Among olive trees and promises
A caress breaks the silence
Even the most tired dog
Here learns the word “tomorrow”
[Chorus]
Eternal flower in Barchetta
You grow in the dust
ParadiseDog and Cornelia Shelter
Hold stray hearts close
Calatafimi watches you and promises
Here no one is left alone
This love that never fades
Gives a future to those who have none
