Oh, Giyamo can I have a chance? To feel the serenity that I read as a kid about when Katy and Ned took a ride together To see the ferro pushing through As the blue water body revamps into spume. Oh, Giyamo can I wonder Did Venice change as your wrinkles appeared What was it like when you held oars back then? Did the fog form as beautifully as ever Did the fog embrace you every day With the familiarity you longed for. Oh, Giyamo can you take me for a ride? You are not just my gondolier You are the soul in this tiny boat Would you sing for me, just like you did for Katy I've been longing for that warmth for decades But I am a loner on this ride, unlike Katy. As wind rustles through and Finding myself on a gondola Will I be able to smile like Katy did? Oh, Giyamo can you take me for a ride? As it has been the dream of the child I was With hearts in eyes that reflect stars Wishing for just one Gondola ride!
