Celeste Lyrics in English Laura Pausini

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Celeste by Laura Pausini from Italian to English.
You'll have your father's eyes
And his melancholy
The timeless silence that pervades
The tide at sunset
You'll arrive with the September moon
That'll pour its milk into me
And I'll love you
As happens in fairy tales, forever
I'll wait for you
Without going away
The way swallows already do in the air
In my land
That grows old, but
On the wake of another age, dancing it dreams
While the gentle light of the east
At dawn lights up hopes and broom flowers
And the sky's so sky-blue
Sky-blue
You'll have books, sandals and pails
Shining 'amarcord'
Your hair will be black like mine
But in a moment, I know, you'll fly away
Toward the far-off island of a city
The way I once did too
My love
Because the sun can forget the moon
I'll wait for you
And sooner or later
You'll arrive without even making a sound
I'll feel you
And you'll stay
While by now the leaves are changing color
To my town you still don't know
Where autumn smells of roasted chestnuts
And the sky's so sky-blue
Like the breath of life
That throws the shutters wide open too
And invites you to smile
Even when you don't want to
This wind in love
That you'll breathe too
That you'll breathe
And then I'll have the courage to wait for you a bit more
And I promise you'll see from the windows
A sky so sky-blue
Sky-blue
A sky so sky-blue

SONG MEANING

Celeste feels like opening a hand-written letter from a future mother to the child she has not yet met. Laura Pausini strings images of September moons, dawn light, and swallows in mid-flight to tell a gentle story of expectation: she imagines the baby’s eyes, the colour of its hair, even the books and sand-filled buckets that will someday litter the beach. Beneath every picture lives a promise of endless love, expressed with the Italian word celeste—a blue sky so clear it becomes a symbol of hope.

Listening to the song is like standing at an open window while seasons turn. Summer tides melt into autumn chestnut scents; childhood dreams grow wings and leave for distant cities; yet the mother’s vow remains unshaken: “Ti aspetterò” – “I will wait for you.” The music wraps these scenes in warmth, reminding us that life keeps moving, but love stays rooted, shining as brightly as that ever-present celestial sky.
