Ora Ti Canto Il Mare Lyrics in English Negramaro

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ora Ti Canto Il Mare by Negramaro from Italian to English.
Outside it was spring, at home love was raining
And you who stayed silent for hours and hours
Time drifting still above a balcony
And I still think about it and laugh, the heart laughs and laughs
The slow breath of a two-way street
The things I've got to say aren't even half a one
The breeze that's blowing now carries summer away first
Before going back to the world, before going back to the sea
And now I sing you the sea
What a beautiful love song
Hear how sweet the music is even with the storm
We lifted our heads, it's raining, we'll keep swimming
What a perfect beautiful spot to make love, and make love again
Now I sing you the sea
The sea, the sea, the sea my love
Swear to me you weren't serious, is summer really over?
And you who can stay quiet, quiet, quiet and not sweat
The slow breath that hides every torment
It's time to shout it to the world, it's time to shout it to the sea
As if by magic the sea is there, everything exploding in the sun
Till I see you fade away
Now I sing you the sea
Now I sing you the sea
What a beautiful love song
Hear how sweet the music is even with the storm
We lifted our heads, it's raining, we'll keep swimming
What a perfect beautiful spot to make love, and make love again
Now I sing you the sea
Now I sing you the sea, how lovely that summer ends
And all the sweet music that made us fall in love
If we try to sleep now we're ready to dream
In perfect silence you wanna make love, if you wanna make love
Now I sing you the sea
The sea
Now I sing you the sea
The sea
Now I sing you the sea
What a beautiful love song
Hear how sweet the music is even with the storm
We lifted our heads, it's raining, we'll keep swimming
What a perfect beautiful spot to make love, and make love again
Now I sing you the sea
The sea, the sea, the sea my love

SONG MEANING

“Ora Ti Canto Il Mare” feels like a postcard from an unforgettable summer, one that refuses to end just because the calendar says so. Negramaro paints a vivid scene: outside it’s spring, but inside the house it’s raining love; time pauses on a balcony while two hearts communicate through silences and sweet laughter. The sea becomes a living soundtrack, its waves matching every heartbeat and storm, inviting the couple to keep swimming in their passion even when the sky opens up.

In the chorus, singing the sea is a promise to celebrate love beyond seasons, to shout it to the world before autumn steals the sun. The beach turns into the “perfect place” for whispered dreams, playful vows, and endless embraces. Whether it’s a calm breeze or a sudden downpour, the song reminds us that real romance doesn’t hide from a little weather—​it dives straight in, ready to float, dance, and make memories that glitter like sunlight on the water.
