Forse bastava respirare
Maybe it was enough to breathe
Solo respirare un po'
Just to breathe a little
Fino a riprendersi ogni battito
Until you reclaim every heartbeat
E non cercare l'attimo per andar via
And not to seek the moment to leave
Non andare via
Don't go away
Perché non puo' essere abitudine
Because it can't be a habit
Dicembre senza te
December without you
Chi resta qui spera l'impossibile
Those who stay here hope for the impossible
Invece no, non c'è più tempo per spiegare
But no, there's no more time to explain
Per chiedere se ti avevo dato amore
To ask if I had given you love
Io sono qui e avrei da dire ancora, ancora
I am here and I still have more to say, more
Perché si spezzano tra i denti
Because they break between the teeth
Le cose più importanti
The most important things
Quelle parole che non osiamo mai
Those words we never dare to say
E faccio un tuffo nel dolore per farle risalire
And I dive into the pain to bring them back up
Portarle qui, una per una qui
To bring them here, one by one here
Le senti tu, pesano e si posano per sempre su di noi
Do you feel them? They weigh and settle forever on us
E se manchi tu, io non so ripeterle
And if you're gone, I can't repeat them
Io non riesco a dirle più
I can no longer say them
Invece no, qui piovono i ricordi
Instead, no, here the memories rain down
Ed io farei di più di ammettere che è tardi
And I would do more than admit that it's late
Come vorrei poter parlare ancora, ancora
How I wish I could still talk, once more
E invece no, non ho più tempo per spiegare
But no, I no longer have time to explain
Avevo anch'io, io, qualcosa da sperare davanti a me
I too had something to hope for in front of me
Qualcosa da finire insieme a te
Something to finish together with you
Forse mi basta respirare
Perhaps just breathing is enough for me
Solo respirare un po'
Just to breathe a little
Forse è tardi, forse invece no
Perhaps it's late, perhaps it's not
