Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La ragione del mondo by Marco Mengoni from Italian to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Luna che intaglia ombre silenziose
Moon carving silent shadows
Un suono lontano e il rumore del mondo
A distant sound and the noise of the world
Nell'ora che svela la voce muta delle cose
In the hour that reveals the silent voice of things
E sembra di coglierne il senso più profondo
And it seems to grasp its deepest meaning
Ti chiederai qual è
You may wonder what it is
La ragione del mondo
The reason for the world
Ed ogni parola rimane sospesa
And every word hangs over
Come nuvola portata dal vento
Like a cloud carried by the wind
E si fa isola, canto, pioggia ed attesa
And it becomes isolation, song, rain and waiting
Un giro di faro acceso e dopo spento
A turn of the lighthouse on and then off
Ti chiederai qual è
You may wonder what it is
La ragione del mondo
The reason for the world
È come fossi nato solo adesso
It's like I was born just now
Vivo solo adesso
I'm only living now
In alto al cielo una città di mille case accese
High in the sky a city of a thousand lit houses
Sono macchine e luci ad andare lontano
Cars and lights go far
E vedo nelle tue mani forme misteriose
And I see mysterious forms in your hands
Nei tuoi occhi specchi in cui mi sto guardando
In your eyes mirrors in which I am looking
Mi chiederai qual è
You may ask me what it is
La ragione del mondo
The reason for the world
Vedi, vedi che il buio è soltanto una breve rinuncia del sole
You see, you see that darkness is only a brief renunciation of the sun
Credi, credi che il tempo si prenderà cura di ogni dolore
Believe, believe that time will take care of every pain
È come fossi nato solo adesso
It's like I was born just now
Vivo solo adesso
I'm only living now
E tu fossi da sempre qui
And you've always been here
È come fossi
It's like I was
Nato solo adesso
Born only now
Vivo solo adesso e tu fossi
I only live now and you were
