Debbo sporcare il cielo e
I must stain the sky and
Farlo tornare giù
Bring it back down
Com'era prima
To how it was before
Prima che venisse
Before love came
L'amore, questa strana cometa
That strange comet,
Prima che quel vento
Before that wind
Dividesse le cose
Divided things,
Prima che le stelle
Before the stars
Tutte, cadessero nel mare
All fell into the sea,
Prima che la prima bocca
Before the first mouth
Si aprisse per farsi baciare
Would it open to be kissed?
Prima che le nostre lacrime
Before our tears
Riempissero il mare
Fill the sea
E che i pesci in silenzio
And the fish in silence
Decidessero di non parlare
Decide not to speak
Voglio sapere chi sarò io
I want to know who I will be
E che uomo, che animale
And what man, what animal
La prossima vita sarò
I will be in the next life
Quanti campanelli
How many bells
Per trovarti dovrò suonare
Will I have to ring to find you?
Ti ho visto nascere domani
I saw you being born tomorrow
Vorrei conoscere
I would like to know
Le tue mani
Your hands
Tempo
Time
Dammi il tempo d'imparare
Give me the time to learn
E il sole
And the sun
Per potermi asciugare
So I can dry off
Un cielo nuvoloso
A cloudy sky
Dove venirti a cercare
Where I can come to find you
Una nuvola per nascondermi
A cloud to hide in
E una nuova bocca per poterti baciare
And a new mouth to kiss you with
