Il mare calmissimo [English translation]

Defending myself,

by avoiding the places where you hang out.

You, hiding

in my deep thoughts.

What wind is

the one that brought you here...

did it wake me up?

Deluding myself,

by ignoring that very slight pain.

Convincing myself

that I'm not dying, after all.

What love is

the one that I won...

did I breathe?

This very calm sea inside me

was crossed by you and me together.

The infinite and you,

the land of my days...

oh, oh, of my days,

which will never end.

But this half-blu,

oh, oh, is black and it doesn't know

how I'll miss you.

Blending

in with people, when you know that this won't give you comfort.

Thinking that you are mine

and not being afraid.

What wind is

the one that brought you here...

did it wake me up?

This very calm sea inside me

was crossed by you and me together.

The infinite and you,

the land of my days...

oh, oh, of my days,

which will never end.

But this half-blu,

oh, oh, is black and it doesn't know

how I'll miss you...

oh, I'll miss you...
