Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mi Parli Piano by Emma from Italian to English.
Happiness is a simple idea
In front of your eyes
Between the air you breathe
And the one that
You hardly hold back
We already have a past
That truth be told
More resembles a conflict
The heart often hurt
By a finger that
You pointed at my chest
If the eyes can't
Tell you what you see
I'll try to tell you
Because you don't believe the evidence
You've been speaking softly for too long
We've known each other for too many years
We could have built a whole palace
Instead, a wall divides us
You've been speaking softly for too long
Or are you a distant memory
Is it love or just an obsession
It's a hot wind
Too hot that you die
It's so hot you die
I play at making war
Because love has never given me respite
But if I have you in front of me once again
In doubt, I'll do the right thing
If the eyes can't
Tell you my thoughts
I'll try to describe them all a bit
Even the darkest ones
You've been speaking softly for too long
We've known each other for too many years
We could have built a whole palace
Instead, a wall divides us
You've been speaking softly for too long
Or are you a distant memory
Is it love or just an obsession
It's a hot wind, too hot that you die
We are here
Between an uncertain step and the utopia of a regained balance
We are here
On a parallel path
We touch without ever meeting
If the eyes can't
Tell you what you see
I'll try to tell you
Because you don't believe the evidence
You've been speaking softly for too long
We've been confusing each other for too many years
We could have built a whole palace
Instead, a wall divides us
You've been speaking softly for too long
Or are you a distant memory
Is it love or just an obsession
It's a hot wind, too hot that you die
It's so hot you die
Be careful, you might die
