Respiri piano per non far rumore
You breathe softly so as not to make a sound
Ti addormenti di sera e ti risvegli col sole
You fall asleep at night and wake up with the sun
Sei chiara come un'alba
You are clear as a dawn
Sei fresca come l'aria
You are fresh as the air
Diventi rossa se qualcuno ti guarda
You turn red if someone looks at you
E sei fantastica quando sei assorta
And you’re fantastic when you’re lost in thought
Nei tuoi problemi, nei tuoi pensieri
In your problems, in your thoughts
Ti vesti svogliatamente
You dress without enthusiasm
Non metti mai niente che possa attirare attenzione
You never wear anything that could draw attention
Un particolare, solo per farti guardare
A detail, just to make you noticed
Respiri piano per non far rumore
You breathe softly to avoid making noise
Ti addormenti di sera e ti risvegli col sole
You fall asleep at night and wake up with the sun
Sei chiara come un'alba
You’re as clear as a dawn
Sei fresca come l'aria
You’re as fresh as the air
Diventi rossa se qualcuno ti guarda
You turn red if someone looks at you
E sei fantastica quando sei assorta
And you’re fantastic when you're lost in thought
Nei tuoi problemi, nei tuoi pensieri
In your problems, in your thoughts
Ti vesti svogliatamente
You dress without enthusiasm
Non metti mai niente che possa attirare attenzione
You never wear anything that could attract attention
Un particolare, per farti guardare
One detail, to make you be seen
E con la faccia pulita
And with a clean face
Cammini per strada mangiando una mela
You walk down the street eating an apple
Coi libri di scuola, ti piace studiare
With school books, you love to study
Non te ne devi vergognare
You shouldn't be ashamed of it
E quando guardi con quegli occhi grandi
And when you look with those big eyes
Forse un po' troppo sinceri, sinceri, sì
Maybe a bit too honest, honest, yes
Si vede quello che pensi, quello che sogni
What you think is visible, what you dream
E qualche volta fai pensieri strani
And sometimes you have strange thoughts
Con una mano, una mano ti sfiori
With one hand, you brush against me
Tu sola dentro la stanza
You alone in the room
E tutto il mondo fuori
And the whole world outside
