Oggi sposi [English translation]

The past is like an old man

who has nothing to say.

Pain is like a bed

where I no longer am able to sleep.

I will place my hopes

above our windowsill

like red tulips coming back to bloom.

And sooner or later

you'll be back down the road

that crosses my life.

I will cure with caresses

your wounded soul

and, looking into our eyes,

we'll gently find

that, pretending to separate, was eventually useless.

For you,

I will ask spring

to stop all year.

I will give you love filters without tricks, without deceit

to return inside your heart.

Then I will help you to love me

until the last tomorrow

as the first day together,

smiling at the pain

just as it is done if it's true love.

The years pass for everyone

and we too have changed,

more in charge of destiny

maybe less in love.

Now it's more than a hope

to return as before

when hand in hand we woke up one morning.

And, come on,

let's call the old friends,

let's also invite the relatives

all in elegant clothes, perhaps crazy but happy

and let's shout it out to everyone.

I will help you to love me

until the last tomorrow

as the first day together,

smiling at the pain

just as it is done if it's true love.

It was beautiful finding ourselves

and now, while you're resting,

I climb in the sky and with a brush

for you I write:

today, newlyweds.
