Per niente al mondo [English translation]

While the night is passing carefully

Between two freshly painted walls;

While two dogs are only looking for

A whistle, so you can call them;

While someone is sleeping

On the pillows of his conscience,

The light is shining through a window,

The shadows look like airplanes;

And while the leisurely water

Refreshes the wood of empty boats;

While the moon doesn't stop,

Even if I'm watching it,

Because the life is a tempest

And there's someone who escapes and there's someone who stays;

And while one never gets tired of this day;

And while the world is breathing, what are you doing?

And while you're not here, why is the world breathing?

Until then, you know

That I wouldn't change you for anything in the world.

Don't you see

That the world is changing for you, too?

And my door is still open,

Like an invitation that you can't reject.

And if music played at the party,

I'd also like to dance.

While a traffic light is flashing

And it cares about those who take precedence;

While love is a risk now

And not just an imprudence;

While talking, friends

Do everything to look the same,

There's still a new hope for freedom;

And while the world is breathing, what are you doing?

And while you're not here, why is the world breathing?

Until then, you know

That I wouldn't change you for anything in the world.

Don't you see it?

But the world is changing for you, too.

And the world is changing for me, too...

Until then, I know that I,

I wouldn't change you for anything in the world,

You wouldn't change for anything in the world.

(×2):

And my door is still open,

Like an invitation that you can't reject.

And if music played at the party,

I'd also like to dance.
