Stella di mare [English translation]

So tired that I can’t sleep

Two o'clock in the morning, there's nothing to do

I like so much touching you

or keeping still and feeling1your breath

You’re already asleep

white skin

how will my tired face

look like?

I try to overturn my pillow

it’s an excuse to get closer to you

I try to wake you up with a little cough

but you turn your back as if nothing happened

I turn the light off

I try to sleep

but with your hand

you come looking for me

You like me

You like me

Wish the stars of the night

to be at your feet

Wish me to be better

than what you see

Wish I had something to give you

And, if I hadn’t you, I’d go out to buy you

Starfish

between the sheets

our boat

is not sailing

it’s flying, flying, flying!

You’re flying with me

you’re flying with me

Fly, that the wind's up

night wind

tiring wind

Starfish

how beautiful you are

how beautiful you are and

how beautiful is

your white skin

white, white

You like me

You like me

Uh, you, uh uh, you like me

you like me

Close your eyes and don’t look around

the daylight is already coming in

Close your eyes and don’t let you find

moon white skin, you’ve got to run

Sleep now

my star

before the day

takes you away

away, away…

You like me

You like me

You’re not flying now, the wind’s dropped

I can see your tired face

and when sleeping, how beautiful you are

how beautiful you are and

how beautiful is your white skin

white, white!

You like me

You like me

you like me

you like me

you like me…
