La neve prima che cada [English translation]

Listen to me now,

I must tell you that

“forever” can last just an hour

or sometimes a little more.

I won’t hear

what you’ll tell me

because love is deaf if is afraid

or is conceited.

We aren't the ones who promise eternity

because you can change direction,

a home, a bed…

Dreams change their director but

now we’re here… you…

You ask me what

snow is, shortly before falling.

It isn’t like us,

who are two feather flying in the air.

You ask me what

love is, shortly before dying.

If there is a piece of dawn at dusk,

I’ll bring it to you.

This heart has

clenched fists

and is vulnerable, you know,

although appears hard.

We aren't the ones who promise eternity

because you can fall into temptation,

moreover, you…

You ask me what

snow is, shortly before falling.

It isn’t like us,

who are words floating in the air.

You ask me what

love is, shortly before dying.

But the only certainty I have

(the only certainty I have)

is that at dusk I’ll find the dawn.

You ask me what

snow is, shortly before falling.

It isn’t like us,

who are two feather flying in the air.

What love is,

just a moment before dying.

But the only certainty I have

(the only certainty I have)

is that at dusk I’ll find the dawn.
