These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
I wanna be your illusion
I wanna be your illusion
Sono sceso da un cielo grigio
I came down from a gray sky
Sono stato all'inferno nero dentro un dipinto rosso
I've been to black hell inside a red painting
Camminando su velluto blu
Walking on blue velvet
Ho visto un angelo con occhi di cristallo
I saw an angel with crystal eyes
Il nostro amore è color ruggine
Our love is rust colored
È polvere bianca
It is white powder
Che scorre dentro una clessidra
Flowing inside an hourglass
Come fosse sabbia, ocra, beige, gialla
As if it were sand, ocher, beige, yellow
Come un libro vecchio con le pagine ingiallite dal tempo
Like an old book with pages yellowed by time
Come un ricordo, come noi
Like a memory, like us
I wanna be your illusion
I wanna be your illusion
Enjoy this trip with me
Enjoy this trip with me
I wanna be your emotion, be your emotion
I wanna be your emotion, be your emotion
Why don't you turn off the lights?
Why don't you turn off the lights?
Imagine how we could be living
Imagine how we could be living
La mia storia è maledetta
My story is cursed
Cos'è la felicità?
What is happiness?
Banconote viola, soldi fluo
Purple banknotes, fluorescent money
Sì, sono più che una star
Yes, I'm more than a star
Stanotte non è Shakespeare, non è Inception
Tonight is not Shakespeare, it is not Inception
L'illusione è realtà, sì, yeah
Illusion is reality, yes, yeah
Sto scrivendo il dramma, yeah
I'm writing the drama, yeah
Sì, il Duomo lo incastono su un anello e poi è tuo, yeah
Yes, I'll set the Duomo on a ring and then it's yours, yeah
Rubini come hai rubato i miei occhi quaggiù, yeah
Rubies like you stole my eyes down here, yeah
La notte che gli dei ci invidieranno e poi addio, yeah
The night that the gods will envy us and then goodbye, yeah
Sappiamo già la fine della storia, a mai più
We already know the end of the story, never again
I wanna be your illusion
I wanna be your illusion
I wanna be your illusion
I wanna be your illusion
Why don't you turn off the lights?
Why don't you turn off the lights?
Imagine how we could be living
Imagine how we could be living
I miei occhi non distinguono più
My eyes can't see anymore
Vedo solo oro
I only see gold
Zanne di elefante, avorio
Elephant tusks, ivory
Orecchini accecano, smeraldo, brilla
Earrings blind, emerald, shines
Platino pesa sopra la bilancia della giustizia
Platinum weighs above the scales of justice
Mi diceva: 'Scopami, usami, fai quello che desideri'
He told me: 'Fuck me, use me, do whatever you want'
Le nostre anime in fiamme
Our souls on fire
Moriremo, sì, ma accelera, accelera
We will die, yes, but speed up, speed up
I wanna be your illusion
I wanna be your illusion
Be your emotion
Be your emotion
Why don't you turn off the lights?
Why don't you turn off the lights?
Enjoy this trip with me
Enjoy this trip with me
I wanna be your emotion, be your emotion
I wanna be your emotion, be your emotion
Why don't you turn off the lights?
Why don't you turn off the lights?
Imagine how we could be living
Imagine how we could be living
