E gira, gira il mondo
And the world turns, turns
E gira il mondo e giro te
And the world turns and I turn with you
Mi guardi e non rispondo, ah
You look at me and I don't respond, ah
Perché risposta non c'è nelle parole
Because there are no answers in the words
Bella come una mattina d'acqua cristallina
Beautiful like a morning of crystal-clear water
Come una finestra che mi illumina il cuscino
Like a window that lights up my pillow
Calda come il pane, ombra sotto un pino
Warm like bread, shade under a pine
Mentre t'allontani, stai con me forever
While you walk away, stay with me forever
Lavoro tutto il giorno
I work all day long
E tutto il giorno penso a te
And all day long I think of you
E quando il pane sforno, ah
And when I bake the bread, ah
Lo tengo caldo per te, ah
I keep it warm for you, ah
Chiara come un ABC, come un lunedì
Clear like an ABC, like a Monday
Di vacanza dopo un anno di lavoro
Of vacation after a year of work
Bella, forte come un fiore, dolce di dolore
Beautiful, strong like a flower, sweet with pain
Bella come il vento che t'ha fatto bella
Beautiful like the wind that made you beautiful
Amore, gioia primitiva di saperti viva
Love, primitive joy of knowing you're alive
Vita piena, giorni e ore, batticuore
Full life, days and hours, heartbeats
Pura, dolce mariposa, nuda come sposa
Pure, sweet butterfly, naked like a bride
Mentre t'allontani, stai con me forever
While you walk away, stay with me forever
Bella come una mattina d'acqua cristallina
Beautiful like a morning of crystal water
Come una finestra che mi illumina il cuscino
Like a window that lights up my pillow
Calda come il pane, ombra sotto un pino
Warm like bread, shade under a pine tree
Come un passaporto con la foto di un bambino
Like a passport with a photo of a child
Bella come un tondo, grande come il mondo
Beautiful like a circle, big like the world
Calda di scirocco e fresca come tramontana
Warm from the sirocco and fresh like the tramontana
Tu come la fortuna, tu così opportuna
You like good fortune, you so timely
Mentre t'allontani, stai con me forever
As you walk away, stay with me forever
Bella come un'armonia, come l'allegria
Beautiful like a harmony, like joy
Come la mia nonna in una foto da ragazza
Like my grandmother in a photo as a girl
Come una poesia, oh Madonna mia
Like a poem, oh my Madonna
Come la realtà che incontra la mia fantasia
Like the reality that meets my fantasy
