Nel blu [English translation]

It's been like on a date

on a cliff before the sunset.

It seemed like I was only looking at the shore

but I felt you arrive next to me.

First, sitting down with our legs between our arms,

both of us silent in our complaints.

Then, carefully, we opened ourselves like books,

helping each other to remember the names of those who we were.

Those who we were.

You were coming from the end of a war.

I had slipped down from my pedestal.

An assembly of splinters talking about glasses.

Two dogs with a lead searching for their owners.

Everything appeared to us clearly in the low foam

'cause we're not born with a knife in our hands.

Looking at each other's eyes, we both knew

that in the end, someone would pay

for the damage someone else had done to us.

Thus we lifted each other up against the wind

and after a few steps we were right on the edge

with the courage we wouldn't have found on our own.

You smiled at me and I felt I was ready.

Thus the weight allowed to move forward

and our heels were lifted off the ground.

You were scared, me perhaps a bit more,

but a moment later, in one jump,

we were together... in the sky.

In the sky.

In the sky.
