Josephine

(Verse 1) Josephine knows the sweet taste of the tea at 5 by the window, One day she woke up from a dream and stared at Maria's face, On 1000 lire covered by an epoxy resin on her table, "It was a tough time," she said with tears streaming down her cheeks. (Chorus) Dedicated to the children, with Maria's guiding light, A century of wisdom in the shadows of the fight, Josephine, you held the torch when others turned away, In a world that didn't see the beauty of your way. (Verse 2) Back then in Italy, it was hard to be a woman strong, Following a pioneer who challenged right from wrong, They banned her work, but you stood firm with passion and with grace, Teaching hearts and minds, you carved a sacred space. (Chorus) Dedicated to the children, with Maria's guiding light, A century of wisdom in the shadows of the fight, Josephine, you held the torch when others turned away, In a world that didn't see the beauty of your way. (Bridge) Luciano sits and wonders with Ezgi by his side, What if fortunes changed, would their paths have intertwined? A photograph in Bergamo, a villa's silent tale, A story left untold, but love will never fail. (Verse 3) The picture on the money, a secret left unsaid, The man who took it never knew the fame that he could spread, Mathilde in the story, Lorenzo by her hand, In a different world, their love might never stand. (Chorus) Dedicated to the children, with Maria's guiding light, A century of wisdom in the shadows of the fight, Josephine, you held the torch when others turned away, In a world that didn't see the beauty of your way. (Outro) Josephine, a poet, an artist in her right, Your legacy lives on in the quiet of the night, We miss you and your stories, your courage and your song, In the hearts of those who follow, your spirit carries on.
