Gloria [English translation]

Gloria,1

you're missing in the air,

you're missing to a hand

that works slowly.

You're missing to this mouth

that no longer touches food.

It's always this story

that I call her Gloria.

Gloria, on your hips,

the sun rises in the morning,

hate enters and love comes out

with the name, Gloria.

Gloria,

you're missing in the air,

you're missing like the salt,

you're missing more than the sun.

Melt this snow,

that suffocates my chest!

I'm waiting for you, Gloria.

Gloria, (Gloria)

country church, (Gloria)

water in the desert, (Gloria)

I leave my heart open. (Gloria)

Escape without making noise

from work, from your bed.

By the steps of an altar

I'm waiting for you, Gloria.

........

Ah ah ah, ah ah ah,

Gloria,

for those who light up the day

and, instead of sleeping,

with the memory go back

to a plunge in the poppies

in a free land,

for those who breathe fog,

for those who breathe anger,

for me that without Gloria,

with you, naked on the sofa,

I'm making cardboard stars

thinking about Gloria.

Gloria,

you're missing in the air,

you're missing like the salt,

you're missing more than the sun.

Melt this snow,

that suffocates my chest!

I'm waiting for you, Gloria.

Gloria, (Gloria)

country church, (Gloria)

water in the desert, (Gloria)

I leave my heart open. (Gloria)

Escape without making noise

from work, from your bed.

By the steps of an altar

I'm waiting for you, Gloria.
