These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Ci vuole coraggio, paura e coraggio
It takes courage, fear and courage
Sentirsi un po' assoluti e un poco di passaggio
Feeling a little absolute and a little passing through
Forse nella notte troverò la tua stella, lassù che brilla
Maybe in the night I will find your star, up there shining
E sembra strano, ma non è strano
And it seems strange, but it's not strange
Speranze appese come foglie sopra un ramo
Hopes hanging like leaves on a branch
Mentre tutto tace tu ancora non dormi, aspetti i tuoi sogni
While everything is silent you still don't sleep, you wait for your dreams
Ancora buio e in giro neanche un'anima
Still dark and not a soul around
E sarà un incubo o sarà una favola
And it will be a nightmare or it will be a fairy tale
Qualche paura resta e sembra quasi
Some fear remains and it almost seems like it
Una vecchia porta che cigola
An old creaking door
Farfalle sopra un fiore
Butterflies above a flower
Promesse fatte altrove
Promises made elsewhere
Che torneranno come
Which will come back as
Scalavi le montagne e per le strade
You climbed the mountains and on the streets
Speravi si avverasse anche per te
You hoped it would come true for you too
Lento, li contavi fino a tre quei pochi secondi
Slow, you counted to three those few seconds
Solo per cambiare tutto
Just to change everything
A tempo perso, li contavi tutti e tre
In your spare time, you counted all three
E per un instante sei andato fino in fondo
And for an instant you went all the way
A tempo perso
In my spare time
A tempo perso
In my spare time
Avevi coraggio, paura e coraggio
You had courage, fear and courage
Ma il senso di equilibrio sembrava un miraggio
But the sense of balance seemed like a mirage
Portavi la tua vita in giro in una valigia
You carried your life around in a suitcase
Era meno grigia
It was less grey
Mettevi al bando salvavita e limiti
Ban lifesaving and limits
Il passato ti ha lasciato i lividi
The past has left you with bruises
In guerra vale tutto, buio e luce
In war everything is valid, dark and light
Mi dicevi, 'Siamo nati liberi'
You told me, 'We were born free'
Farfalle sopra un fiore
Butterflies above a flower
Promesse fatte altrove
Promises made elsewhere
Che torneranno come
Which will come back as
Scalavi le montagne per le strade
You climbed mountains on the streets
Speravi si avverasse anche per te
You hoped it would come true for you too
Stanco, li contavi fino a tre quei pochi secondi
Tired, you counted to three those few seconds
Solo per cambiare il mondo
Just to change the world
A tempo perso, li contavi tutti e tre
In your spare time, you counted all three
E per un istante sei andato fino in fondo
And for an instant you went all the way
A tempo perso
In my spare time
A tempo perso
In my spare time
A tempo perso
In my spare time
A tempo perso
In my spare time
Perso
Lost
Lento, li contavi fino a tre quei pochi secondi
Slow, you counted to three those few seconds
Solo per cambiare tutto
Just to change everything
A tempo perso
In my spare time
A tempo perso
In my spare time
A tempo perso
In my spare time
A tempo perso
In my spare time
Perso
Lost
