E gira il mondo e giro te
And I travel around the world and I travel around you
Mi guardi e non rispondo
You look at me and I don't answer
Perché risposta non s'è
Because there is no answer
Nelle parole
In words
Bella come una mattina d'acqua cristallina
As beautiful as a morning of crystal clear water
Come una finestra che mi illumina il cuscino
Like a window that lights up my pillow
Calda come il pane
Hot as bread
Ombra sotto un pino
Shade under a pine tree
Mentre t'allontani stai con me forever
While you walk away, stay with me forever
Lavoro tutto il giorno
I work all day
E tutto il giorno penso a te
And all day I think about you
E quando il pane sforno
And when the bread comes out of the oven
Lo tengo caldo per te
I keep it warm for you
Chiara come un abc
Clear as ABC
Come un lunedì di vacanza dopo un anno di lavoro
Like a Monday holiday after a year of work
Bella forte come un fiore
Beautiful, strong like a flower
Dolce di dolore
Sweet with pain
Bella come il vento che t'ha fatto bell'amore
As beautiful as the wind that made you beautiful love
Gioia primitiva
Primitive joy
Di saperti viva
To know you are alive
Vita piena giorni e ore
Full life days and hours
Batticuore pura dolce mariposa
Heart-pounding pure sweet mariposa
Nuda come sposa mentre t'allontani stai con me forever
Naked as a bride while you walk away stay with me forever
Bella come una mattina d'acqua cristallina
As beautiful as a morning of crystal clear water
Come una finestra che mi illumina il cuscino
Like a window that lights up my pillow
Calda come il pane ombra sotto un pino
Warm as bread shadow under a pine tree
Come un passaporto con la foto di un bambino
Like a passport with a photo of a child
Bella come un tondo
Beautiful as a round
Grande come il mondo
As big as the world
Calda di scirocco e fresca come tramontana
Warm from the sirocco and fresh from the north
Tu come la fortuna
You like luck
Tu così opportuna
You so timely
Mentre t'allontani stai con me forever
While you walk away, stay with me forever
Bella come un armonia
Beautiful like a harmony
Come l'allegria
Like happiness
Come la mia nonna in una foto da ragazza
Like my grandmother in a girl photo
Come una poesia o madonna mia
Like a poem oh my lady
Come la realtà che incontra la mia fantasia
Like reality meeting my imagination
