Mia ragione [English translation]

And the night will swallow people and streets and those who can't sleep

And also my steps, the endless rooms

Of a very large hotel.

And I will remove the pearls of your words

From the thread of time,

But mine is a thought that doesn't make noise,

A shadow that disappears when the sun rises.

And you, you talk to me behind my back,

Ask for the future that's worth it.

But I can give you only this moment

And the beating of my amateur heart.

My hunger, my thirst, my salvation

My damnation, my shout, my quietness

My fault, my reason.

And around the corner of my thoughts,

I saw you walking.

But your voice was so distant,

And my step was always heavier.

And we'll have another good excuse for waiting to buy time,

Just a story we tell to look like what we are not.

And you, the same face, the same scene,

You ask for tomorrow that's worth it

And a caress that's not a duty,

But I only have a silent response.

That's how to disappear and not to feel anything,

To go back in time against the tide,

To meet on a day where I was lost,

To become my own shadow

And then to go back to a new face,

To get everything to learn again and then to sit next to you,

And to whisper to you a story of the whole life.

My hunger, my thirst, my beauty, my healing.

And then to go back to a new face,

To get everything to learn again and then to sit next to you

And to whisper to you a story of the whole life.

My shout, my quietness, my fault

My reason, my reason.

My reason.
