La mia risposta [English translation]

I have never believed in destiny

Till you have changed me.

My nave always sailed free,

Like a veil my soul is lonely

But I lived days without any logic

And every night I had a new question.

I felt myself caught in a trap,

Closed in a plastic box

And I danced in balance until

I became too fragile,

And I asked myself in the mirror many times if

There is still a bit love for me.

Now I know

That my answer is you

Because

I live of you.

Now I know

That there is an answer for me

For me,

It is you.

And I loved without ever deciding

With a nomadic heart.

Every fire turned into ash,

My imprints, signs on the dust.

I lived throwing away melancholy,

My time will not come back any more

Barricading me from loneliness,

I prayed you to come

Imagining another life with you

Easy days,

Days a bit easier,

More simple.

And how many times I asked myself in the mirror:

What is true love?

Now I know

That my answer is you

Because

I live of you.

I will be never the same because

You are

Stronger than me.

Now I know

It's enough for me,

I don't have doubts for myself.

Like a circle which has no end,

Like a sunrise which always comes, you know,

It always comes.

The time of my time is you are now

And every thing has the sense around us

And my doubts will never come back.

Now I know

That my answer is you

Because

You are like me.

Now I know

That there is no other answer

Because

I live of you

I live of you.
