Mi manchi [English translation]

And I miss you in my hands,

I miss you by my side,

In the details and in the fragments,

Like a sea dragon on the chest of harbours,

Like a sword against criminals.

And I miss you between my teeth,

I miss you in my heart,

Like two words on the phone,

In the sweaty hair, the night at the latest movie

When you have to drink, you have to sleep.

But far, far away in the middle of the traffic jam,

Don't feel like a prisoner.

If you knew, love, that I can hardly wait for the night

For a kiss, a single word,

To make us be surprised by people who are still together,

Those who love each other

More and more every day,

More and more every day,

More and more every day,

Like two young people who stick together in the dark,

Hold onto each other.

And I miss you in my eyes,

I miss you in the gestures,

And I miss you just because I miss you.

Tell me that we'll be together, hand in hand.

Maybe today, to keep us together tomorrow,

The horizon is open and strong like a wall,

Take the road through it right into the future.

And I no longer know what to tell you.

And wherever we go,

Love, what we lack is a helping hand.

But far, far away in the middle of the traffic jam,

Don't feel like a prisoner.

If you knew, love, that I can hardly wait for the night

For a kiss, a single word,

To make us be surprised by people who are still together,

Those who love each other

More and more every day,

More and more every day,

More and more every day,

Like two young people who stick together in the dark,

Hold onto each other.
