Che sia benedetta [English translation]

I’ve made so many mistakes in my life

Who knows how many more I will make

In this short, endless interlude

So many times I said I was sorry, so many I didn’t

This is a race that chooses its destination on its own

So many memories left along the way

So many times I turned my hourglass upside down

This time is no sand, but your life going by, going by

Refrain:

Blessed be it

No matter how nonsense and intricate may it seem, life is perfect

No matter how inconsistent and stubborn it seems, if you fall, it will be waiting for you

It’s us who should learn how to hold it tight

To hold it tight

We’re eternity, we’re steps, we’re stories

We’re children of our own truth

And if it’s true there’s a God above never giving up on us

Thy will be done, now

In this traffic of aimless gazes

In those dull smiles on the street

So many times do we curse this life

Hoping against hope we’ve already figured it out

It’s not enough, it’s not enough

Refrain:

Blessed be it

No matter how nonsense and intricate may it seem, life is perfect

No matter how inconsistent and stubborn it seems, if you fall, it will be waiting for you

It’s us who should learn how to hold it tight

To hold it tight

For those who find themselves in their own courage

For those who are born every day, setting off

For those who’ve always been struggling and bearing pain

No one here is different, no one is better

For those who have lost it all and go back to square one

Because nothing is over when you’re living for real

For those who are left alone, hanging on to silence

For those who give the love they keep within

Refrain:

Blessed be it

No matter how nonsense and intricate may it seem, life is perfect

No matter how inconsistent and stubborn it seems, if you fall, it will be waiting for you

It’s us who should learn how to hold it tight

To hold it tight

Blessed be it
