Penso a te prima di dormire
I think of you before I sleep
guardando il sole
watching the sun
che fa spazio all'imbrunire.
that makes way for twilight.
In questa terra
In this land
lontana da casa
far from home
lontana da te
far from you
che sei la mia casa.
who are my home.
Ovunque tu sia
Wherever you are
tu sei l'anima mia
you are my soul
Sei un campo di malinconia
You are a field of melancholy
quando non sono da te
when I'm not with you
Sei un campo di frutti dolcissimi
You are a field of the sweetest fruits
quando sei qui con me
when you are here with me
Contadino del cuore
Farmer of the heart
la mia gioia mi costa sudore
my joy costs me sweat
Io ti amo e fuggo lontano
I love you and flee far away
La misura di quanto ti amo
The measure of how much I love you
è il pianeta
is the planet
Di ogni viaggio lontano
Of every journey afar
da te sei la meta.
you are the destination.
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
I wise king, you comet star
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
I wise king, you comet star
Mi devo allontanare da te
I have to distance myself from you
per vederti tutta intera
to see you in your entirety
Devo far finta che non ci sei
I must pretend you aren't there
per scoprire che sei vera
to discover that you are real
Questa sera la signora dell'albergo
Tonight, the lady of the hotel
ha cucinato le patate
has cooked the potatoes
come le fai tu
just like you do
Arrosto
Roasted
un po' croccanti fuori
a little crunchy on the outside
e morbide nel cuore
and soft in the heart
proprio come le fai te...
just like you make them...
proprio come te
just like you
proprio come te
just like you
Mangiandole mangiavo te
Eating them, I was eating you
come una comunione
like a communion
e son scappato via perché
and I ran away because
da troppo amore
of too much love
non so respirare
I can't breathe
amore amore amore amore...
love love love love...
Questa parola vista da lontano
This word seen from afar
mi fa sentire un pellegrino
makes me feel like a pilgrim
un penitente
a penitent
un cavaliere errante
a wandering knight
Un mezzo deficiente
A half-wit
Io ti amo e fuggo lontano
I love you and run far away
la misura di quanto ti amo
the measure of how much I love you
è il pianeta
is the planet
Di ogni viaggio lontano da te
Of every journey far from you
sei la meta
you are the destination
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
I am the wise king, you are the shooting star
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
I am the wise king, you are the shooting star
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
I am the wise king, you are the shooting star
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
I am the wise king, you are the shooting star
Adesso la luce del sole
Now the sunlight
é sparita
has faded away
la foresta si popola
the forest is filled
di nuova vita...
with new life...
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
I am the wise king, you are the shooting star
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
I am the wise king, you are the shooting star
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
I am the wise king, you are the shooting star
Io re magio, tu stella cometa
I am the wise king, you are the shooting star
