La Vita Comincia Lyrics in English by Marco Masini
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Vita Comincia by Marco Masini from Italian to English.
La vita comincia
Life begins
E sei un diamante
And you are a diamond
Ma tu neanche lo sai
But you don't even know it
Lo sanno quegli occhi a cui fare domande
Those eyes know, the ones to ask questions of
E da cui imparerai
And from which you will learn
Il significato profondo del tempo
The deep meaning of time
Ed il suo valore
And its value
L'amore che manca a un giocattolo rotto
The love that's missing from a broken toy
E alle rughe sul viso
And from the wrinkles on the face
La vita comincia una sera di maggio
Life begins on a May evening
Da un bacio sperato
From a hoped-for kiss
A lei che per te era la fine del mondo
To her who for you was the end of the world
E invece il mondo è iniziato
And instead the world began
A lei che portava una pace più grande
To her who brought a greater peace
Di tutte le guerre
Than all the wars
Che avevi cercato, che avevi voluto
That you had sought, that you had wanted
Aspettando qualcosa
Waiting for something
Se ti raggiungerai
If you reach yourself
In un destino fuori dal presente
In a destiny outside the present
Se ti cercherai
If you search for yourself
In un dettaglio che non è importante
In a detail that isn't important
Come ritornare dove sei stato già
Like returning where you've already been
Sotto il vecchio cielo di una nuova città
Under the old sky of a new city
Ma se ti raggiungerai
But if you reach yourself
Sarà per sempre
It will be forever
La vita comincia e sei sulle gambe
Life begins and you're on your feet
Su una dura salita
On a hard climb
Hai speso I tuoi anni a studiare le carte
You spent your years studying the maps
Ma non ricordi la meta
But you don't remember the destination
E devi tornare di nuovo all'inizio
And you have to go back to the beginning again
E perdere tutto
And lose everything
Se non è concesso cambiare il passato
If it's not allowed to change the past
Proviamo ad amarlo
Let's try to love it
Se ti raggiungerai
If you reach yourself
In un destino fuori dal presente
In a destiny outside the present
Se ti cercherai
If you search for yourself
In un dettaglio che non è importante
In a detail that isn't important
Come stare dentro a un giorno di un'altra età
Like being inside a day of another age
Per finire quello che è rimasto a metà
To finish what was left halfway
Ma se ti raggiungerai
But if you reach yourself
Sarà per sempre
It will be forever
Sarà per sempre
It will be forever
La vita comincia
Life begins
In questo momento
In this moment
Che stavi aspettando
That you were waiting for
Se ti raggiungerai
If you reach yourself
In un destino fuori dal presente
In a destiny outside the present
Se ti cercherai
If you search for yourself
In un dettaglio che non è importante
In a detail that isn't important
Come perdonarti ancora la verità
Like forgiving yourself the truth again
Per provarci un altra volta e poi si vedrà
To try it one more time and then we'll see
Ma se ti raggiungerai
But if you reach yourself
Sarà per sempre
It will be forever

diamante — diamond
Diamante means "diamond". It's a beautiful and evocative word that immediately brings to mind images of preciousness, strength, and brilliance.
In the song, Marco Masini uses it to describe a person, singing "E sei un diamante" (And you are a diamond). This metaphor suggests that the person is incredibly valuable, unique, and full of potential, even if they don't realize it themselves. It's a powerful way to convey deep affection and admiration.
