Io canto [English translation]

The mist that settles down in the morning.

The stones on a road on the hill.

The falcon that will lift.

The first ray of sun that will come.

The snow that will melt

running towards the sea.

The print of a head over the pillow.

The slow and uncertain steps of a child.

The look of serenity.

The hand that will lend itself.

The joy of those who wait.

For this and for what will come

I sing.

My hands inside my pockets and I sing.

The voice at the party and I sing.

The band in my head and I sing.

I run with the wind and I sing.

My whole life and I sing.

The spring and I sing.

My prayer and I sing

for whoever that listens to me.

I want to sing,

to sing always.

The smell of the coffee in the kitchen.

The house all filled with the morning.

And the lift that doesn't work.

My love for my city.

The people that will smile

along the street.

The branches that narrow down towards the sky.

An old man walking all by himself.

The summer that will later pass.

The grain that will ripen.

The hand that will pick it up.

For this and for what will come

I sing.

My hands inside my pockets and I sing.

The voice at the party and I sing.

The band in my head and I sing.

I run with the wind and I sing.

My whole life and I sing.

The spring and I sing.

The last evening and I sing

for whoever that listens to me.

I want to sing,

to sing always.

To sing!

(I sing, I sing...)

My hands inside my pockets. (I sing, I sing...)

The voice at the part and I sing.

My whole life and I sing.

I run with the wind and I sing.

And I sing!

My whole life and I sing.

I sing

for whoever that listens to me. (For whoever that listens to me...)

(I sing...) For whoever that listens to me. (I sing, I sing...)

(I sing, I sing...)

(I sing, I sing...)
