Noah ( /ˈnoʊ.ə/; or Noé, Noach; Hebrew: נֹחַ, נוֹחַ, Modern Noaẖ Tiberian Nōăḥ; Arabic: نُوح Nūḥ; Ancient Greek: Νῶε) was the tenth and last of the antediluvian Patriarchs. The story of Noah and the ark is told in chapters 6–9 of the book of Genesis, which is followed by the story of the Curse of Ham. Outside Genesis his name is mentioned in Ezekiel, Isaiah and Chronicles. He was the subject of much elaboration in later Abrahamic traditions, including the Qur'an.
Noah was the tenth of the pre-Flood Patriarchs. His father Lamech named him nûaḥ (the final ḥ is a more gutteral sound than the English h), saying, "This same shall comfort us in our work and in the toil of our hands, which cometh from the ground which the LORD hath cursed." This connects the future patriarch's name with nāḥam, "comfort", but it seems better related to the word nûaḥ, meaning "rest", and is more a play on words than a true etymology.
In his five hundredth year Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth. In his six hundredth year God, saddened at the wickedness of mankind, sent a great deluge to destroy all life, but because Noah was "righteous in his generation" God instructed him to build an ark and save a remnant of life. After the Flood Noah offered a sacrifice (the word nihoah, describing the "pleasant" odour of the sacrifice, is yet another pun on Noah's name) and entered into a covenant with God regulating the shedding of blood (i.e., mankind's permnission to kill under regulated circumstances). After this he became "the first tiller of the soil", planted a vineyard, and drank the wine, and fell asleep naked; Noah's son Ham saw his father naked and told his brothers, and Noah cursed Ham's son Canaan.

Vola un gabbiano e si perde più in là
Oltre la piega del fiume che va
Dove la luna si specchia e più bella
Si fa
Con la sua luce
E il suo sorriso
Diventa argento
L'oscurità
E roma sogna sotto la luna I miei pensieri li fa volar via
Scopre le carte della fortuna
Desideri di vita e poesia
E roma sogna coi suoi tramonti
Tra le passioni che incendiano il blu
E lascia un segno nei sentimenti
Lascia la voglia di amarsi di più
Cambia nel tempo e rimane com'è
Donna paziente e orgogliosa di sé
Dolce sa aprirsi col cuore a chiunque
Verrà
Stringimi amore
Tra queste strade
Quel che ci accade
Lascia che sia
E roma sogna sotto la luna
Che costa poco la felicità
Una moneta nella fontana
Ed il sogno diventa realtà
E roma sogna sotto le stelle
E allora sogno che roma sei tu
La stessa voglia di cose belle
Stessa voglia di amarti di più
Stringimi amore tra queste strade
Che sanno dire quel che dirti non so
Quello che dirti io non so
E roma sogna sotto la luna
Che costa poco la felicità
Una moneta nella fontana
Ed il sogno diventa realtà
Una moneta nella fontana
