Ci Vorrebbe Il Mare Lyrics in English by Marco Masini

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ci Vorrebbe Il Mare by Marco Masini from Italian to English.
Ci vorrebbe il mare che accarezza i piedi
We'd need the sea that caresses our feet
Mentre si cammina verso un punto che non vedi
While we walk towards a point you don't see
Ci vorrebbe il mare su questo cemento
We'd need the sea on this cement
Ci vorrebbe il sole col suo oro e col suo argento
We'd need the sun with its gold and its silver
E per questo amore, figlio di un'estate
And for this love, born of a summer
Ci vorrebbe il sale per guarire le ferite
We'd need salt to heal the wounds
Dei sorrisi bianchi fra le labbra rosa
Of white smiles between pink lips
A contare stelle mentre il cielo si riposa
Counting stars while the sky rests
Ci vorrebbe il mare per andarci a fondo
We'd need the sea to sink into it
Ora che mi lasci come un pacco per il mondo
Now that you leave me like a package for the world
Ci vorrebbe il mare con le sue tempeste
We'd need the sea with its storms
Che battesse ancora forte sulle tue finestre
That would beat strongly again on your windows
Ci vorrebbe il mare sulla nostra vita
We'd need the sea on our life
Che lasciasse fuori, come un fiore, le tue dita
That would leave your fingers outside, like a flower
Così che il tuo amore potrei cogliere e salvare
So that I could pick and save your love
Ma per farlo ancora, giuro, ci vorrebbe il mare
But to do it again, I swear, we'd need the sea
Ci vorrebbe un mare dove naufragare
We'd need a sea where we could drown
Come quelle strane storie di delfini che
Like those strange stories of dolphins that
Vanno a riva per morir vicini e non si sa perché
Go to shore to die close and nobody knows why
Come vorrei fare ancora, amore mio, con te
How I'd like to do it again, my love, with you
Ci vorrebbe il mare per andarci a fondo
We'd need the sea to sink into it
Ora che mi lasci come un pacco per il mondo
Now that you leave me like a package for the world
Ci vorrebbe il mare con le sue tempeste
We'd need the sea with its storms
Che battesse ancora e forte sulle tue finestre
That would beat again and strongly on your windows
Ci vorrebbe il mare dove non c'è amore
We'd need the sea where there's no love
Il mare in questo mondo da rifare
The sea in this world to be remade
Ci vorrebbe il mare
We'd need the sea
Ci vorrebbe il mare
We'd need the sea
Ci vorrebbe il mare
We'd need the sea
Ci vorrebbe il mare
We'd need the sea

Did you like this lyrics translation?

naufragare — to be shipwrecked

Naufragare means "to be shipwrecked" or "to sink". It's a dramatic and evocative verb that paints a vivid picture of being lost at sea.

In the song, Marco Masini uses it to express a deep desire to be completely consumed by the sea, almost as a way to escape or find solace from a lost love. He sings, "Ci vorrebbe un mare dove naufragare" (We would need a sea where we could be shipwrecked), highlighting a profound longing for emotional immersion and perhaps a new beginning.
