One snowy morning, Momo hears a beautiful melody being played through the town. Tracing it back, she meets the pianist Skotavich, who seems frustrated with the song for some reason...
In a "long, long ago" recent enough that 
it could very well seem like tomorrow...
‫في زمنٍ سحيق، قريب
‫لدرجة أنه قد يبدو كالغد...
en un pasado no tan lejano
que podría parecernos mañana,
en un pasado no tan lejano
que podría parecernos mañana,
une fois si peu lointaine
in un'epoca estremamente remota,
Num "há muito, muito tempo" tão recente
que até parece que pode ser amanhã...
Давным-давно, но кажется,
будто это было совсем недавно...
