Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Carezze by Gianna Nannini from Italian to English.
La porta aperta luccicò
The open door glittered
Un taglio piccolissimo
A very small cut
Qualcuno arreso ad aspettare
Someone surrendered to waiting
Come una riva in cima al mare
Like a shore on top of the sea
Finisce a morsi
It ends with bites
Pietra in polvere
Stone into powder
Fiamma in cenere
Flame into ash
Basteranno le carezze
Will caresses be enough
Le mie mani forti e libere
My strong and free hands
Dentro i pozzi sopra i tetti
Inside the wells, above the roofs
Scavalcare e ovunque
To climb over and everywhere
Scendere e cercarti
To descend and search for you
Fuori tra le ombre
Outside among the shadows
Il tuo sorriso luccicò
Your smile glittered
Uno spiraglio piccolo
A small glimmer
Le braccia nodi da allentare
Arms like knots to untie
Fuggire e sempre ritornare
To flee and always return
Si asciuga a sorsi
It dries sip by sip
Foglia in briciole
Leaf into crumbs
Acqua a spiovere
Water pouring down
Basteranno le carezze
Will caresses be enough
Le mie mani grandi e ruvide
My large and rough hands
Lungo i fossi tra le stelle
Along the ditches among the stars
Rovesciarsi e ovunque splendere e
To pour out and everywhere shine and
Fuori tra le onde
Outside among the waves
(Fuori tra le ombre)
Outside among the shadows
Fuori tra le ombre
Outside among the shadows
