Respiro Lyrics in English by Michele Bravi
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Respiro by Michele Bravi from Italian to English.
Non si può cadere
You can't fall
Senza prima salire un po' più su
Without first climbing a bit higher
Non si può tornare senza partire
You can't return without leaving
E non si può vedere
And you can't see
Come è fatto davvero il cielo
What the sky is really like
Senza prima alzare gli occhi verso il sole
Without first raising your eyes towards the sun
E non si può restare
And you can't stay
Tutta una vita senza mai rischiare
A whole life without ever taking a risk
Senza guardare giù
Without looking down
E poi lasciarti andare
And then let yourself go
Se chiudi gli occhi e provi a respirare
If you close your eyes and try to breathe
Senza guardare giù
Without looking down
E basterà un respiro, un respiro profondo
And a breath will be enough, a deep breath
E poi un salto dal tetto del mondo
And then a jump from the roof of the world
Ma non guardare giù
But don't look down
Non si può scoprire
You can't discover
Cosa c'è al di là del mare
What's beyond the sea
Rimanendo a riva con i remi in mano
Staying on shore with the oars in your hand
E non si può aspettare
And you can't wait
L'alba senza rimanere svegli
For dawn without staying awake
Con il freddo e la notte
Through the cold and the night
Del buio e le stelle
Of darkness and the stars
E non si può restare
And you can't stay
Tutta una vita senza mai rischiare
A whole life without ever taking a risk
Senza guardare giù
Without looking down
E poi lasciarti andare
And then let yourself go
Se chiudi gli occhi e provi a respirare
If you close your eyes and try to breathe
Senza guardare giù
Without looking down
E basterà un respiro, un respiro profondo
And a breath will be enough, a deep breath
E poi un salto dal tetto del mondo
And then a jump from the roof of the world
Ma non guardare giù
But don't look down
E non si può restare
And you can't stay
Tutta una vita senza mai rischiare
A whole life without ever taking a risk
Senza guardare giù
Without looking down
E poi lasciarti andare
And then let yourself go
Se chiudi gli occhi e provi a respirare
If you close your eyes and try to breathe
Senza guardare giù
Without looking down
E basterà un respiro, un respiro profondo
And a breath will be enough, a deep breath
E poi un salto dal tetto del mondo
And then a jump from the roof of the world
Ma non guardare giù
But don't look down
E basterà un respiro, un respiro profondo
And a breath will be enough, a deep breath
Che siamo quasi sul tetto del mondo
Because we're almost on the roof of the world
Ma non guardare giù
But don't look down

Did you like this lyrics translation?
respiro — breath
Respiro means "breath" or "I breathe." It's a fundamental word, but in this song, it takes on a profound, almost spiritual significance.
The song repeatedly emphasizes the idea of taking a deep breath before taking a leap of faith or facing life's challenges. It's not just about the physical act of breathing, but about finding courage and presence in a single, deliberate breath before embarking on something new and unknown. This makes it a powerful and inspiring word within the context of the lyrics.
