Escape From The Heart

 

You chose to escape, taking refuge in the chaos of life,

you denied the caresses of the soul, wounded

by the noise of conventions and the din of a thousand excuses…

 

In your sleepless nights the silence speaks to you of me,

when the world is silent, the soul listens to my voice,

in the whisper that sweetly does not fade.

 

It bounces like an echo between the walls,

the restlessness reminds you that love has never vanished.

It is there, hidden under the tiles of your fears.

 

You can’t free yourself from me… You will ask yourself

why despite the distance, the heart continues to beat

to the rhythm of our melodies?

 

You can’t escape the truth,

not even time can do it

and our story will never be over,

it only remains suspended, waiting

for that courage, son of truth.

 

We are destinies engraved by the universe,

we are infinite.

You have built fences to the heart,

an architect fleeing from the solution.

 

Unbearable prison…

But when the noise will extinguish the silence

you will hear my voice, stronger than ever.

 

Because true love does not fade,

it burns strong, even under the ashes of your fears.

 

You will run into my arms then,

free to be yourself.

 

Escape is just a mere illusion.

 

Love binds us with its invisible thread,

infinite and imperishable.

 

FUGA DAL CUORE

 

Hai scelto di scappare, rifugiato nel caos della vita,

hai negato le carezze dell’anima, ferita

dal rumore delle convenzioni e dal frastuono di mille scuse…

 

Nelle tue notti, insonne il silenzio ti parla di me,

quando il mondo tace, l’anima ascolta la mia voce,

nel sussurro che dolce non si spegne.

 

Rimbalza come un’eco fra le pareti,

l’inquietudine ti ricorda che l’amore non è mai svanito.

È lì, nascosto sotto le tegole delle tue paure.

 

Non riesci a liberarti di me… Ti chiederai

perché nonostante la distanza, il cuore continua a pulsare

sul ritmo delle nostre melodie?

 

Non si fugge dalla verità,

nemmeno il tempo ci riesce

e la nostra storia non sarà mai finita,

resta solo sospesa, nell’attesa

di quel coraggio figlio della verità.

 

Siamo destini dall’universo incisi,

siamo infiniti.

Hai costruito recinti al cuore,

un architetto in fuga dalla soluzione.

 

Insopportabile prigione…

Ma quando’l rumore spegnerà’l silenzio

sentirai la mia voce, più forte che mai.

 

Ché l’amore vero non svanisce,

brucia forte, anche sotto le ceneri delle tue paure.

 

Correrai fra le mie braccia allora,

libero d’esser te stesso.

 

La fuga è solo mera illusione.

 

L’amore ci lega col suo filo invisibile,

infinito e indistruttibile.

The City Of The Wind

 

You are like this city,

Whose sight takes your breath away.

Charming to the sound of the wind,

Who blows me and takes me away...

That magic waltz that transforms...

You are this sea

A caress on the sides of the earth,

A seductive vision at sunset, a thrill

When the skin gives, a mischievous tickle

Dripping steam into the sky...

You are the ships departing,

When you break the moorings

Every time I saw you leave...

You are the nostalgia,

A sliver of sunshine, cursed,

That first hurts the soul

And then resurface in the empty streets.

Alone, I walk among silent buildings,

Discreet colors that illuminate,

Warm up to the limit,

While the day overcomes melancholy.

The same scent, an intense taste.

The same elusive look…

 

LA CITTÀ DEL VENTO

 

Sei come questa città,

che vista mozza il fiato.

Affascinante al suono del vento,

che soffia e mi trascina…

Quel magico valzer che gira…

Sei questo mare

una carezz’ai fianchi della terra,

seducente visione al tramonto, un brivido

quando cede la pelle, un solletico malizioso

che gocciola vapore al cielo…

Sei le navi in partenza,

quando spezzi’l contatto,

tutte le volte che t’ho visto andar via…

Sei la nostalgia, 

un ritaglio di sole, maledetto,

che prima ferisce l'anima

e poi risorge su strade vuote.

Sola, cammino tra palazzi silenti, 

colori discreti che s’accendono, 

si riscaldano fino al limite, 

mentre il giorno vince la malinconia.

Lo stesso profumo, un intenso sapore…

Lo stesso sguardo, disertore.
