THE TRAVELLER
PAROLES
It was a night full of thunders
A night full of clouds
When he arrived in the town
He went up to a door
And knocked at it
A man came out
He has been sleeping
We’ve got nothing here, we’ve got no gold (Refrain)
We’ve got no silver, we’ve got no diamonds
We’ve only got the rain, we only have the sky
We’ve only got the cloud, and the moon to watch
But if we leave that man out, in that storming night
What will the sky say, what will the rain do?

Let us be conscience-striken
The traveller said gently
-Good evening mister
I feel so weak
I have been all around
I have been walking since three days
Have you got a place for me?
Oh please let me in
I would take anything you give
The man shook his head
He thought for a while
He looked up and down
Then he said sadly
We’ve got nothing here, we’ve got no gold (Refrain)
We’ve got no silver, we’ve got no diamonds
We’ve only got the rain, we only have the sky
We’ve only got the cloud, and the moon to watch
But if we leave that man out, in that storming night
What will the sky say, what will the rain do?
