Original lyrics
Addio sogni di gloria
Quando ragazzi felici andavamo alla scuola
con la cartella a tracolla ed in tasca la mela
per il futuro avevamo un vestito di gala
quante speranze di gloria di celebrità
ma inesorabile il tempo tracciava il cammino
e a testa china anneghiamo nel nostro destino.
Addio Sogni Di Gloria
addio castelli in aria.
Guardo con sordo rancore la mia scrivania
cerco a scacciare ma invano la monotonia
Addio anni di gioventù
perché perché non ritornate più
Sono una foglia d'autunno che nella tormenta
teme il grigiore dei giorni l'inverno paventa
La donna sincera aspettai
compagna dei sogni miei
ma invano cercai cercai
amore anche tu dove sei
Addio Sogni Di Gloria
addio castelli in aria
Prendo la penna e continuo la doppia partita
faccio una macchia d'inchiostro mi treman le dita
Meglio tacer le memorie o vecchio cuor mio
Sogni di gloria addio
michealt

Goodbye dreams of glory
When we happy boys went to school
with shouldered schoollbags and apples in pockets
we had a vision of a festive future,
so many hopes of glory and fame,
but the passing of time inexorably set out our paths
and with our heads bowed down we sink in our fate,
Goodbye dreams of glory,
goodbye castles in the air.
I stare at my desk with unvoiced resentment,
I seek in vain to drive the boredom away.
Farewell years of youth,
why oh why will you no more return
I am an autumn leaf which in the storm
worries about the days' greyness and fears the winter.
I waited for the honest woman
a partner for all my dreams
but I waited and searched in vain:
love, even you, where are you?
Goodbye dreams of glory,
goodbye castles in the air.
I take up my pen and carry on with the double entry accounting,
I make an ink blot, my fingers are trembling
Better to silence these memories or my old heart
Dreams of glory goodbye

A beautiful tune. The lyrics are a bit pessimistic for me - but perhaps they were realistic, not pesimistic, back in 1942 when they were written.
