Tant lluny de tu [English translation]

You are as far away from me

As my people are from their own nation,

As the bohemian lifestyle of Paris,

Like my grief from your bed sheet...

I'm so very far away fyom you

Just as love is far from Rome,

As New York is far from darkness,

As my forehead is far from your kiss...

[Chorus:]

I will traverse the whole world

So that I can try to feel you closer

And, when I have no breath left,

I'll keep marching on, but a bit slowlier!

You are as far away from me

As the FC Bayern is from FC St. Pauli,

As Brussels is from Pakistan,

As the tourist is from the immigrant...

As the vassal is from the nobleman,

As a politician from his people;

As the refugee is from Malta,

As my lips are far from your cheek!

I weep and long for

All those things that have never happened,

But I've always imagined.

I weep and long for

Being closer to your side,

But this distance keeps me imprisoned.

[Chorus:]

I will traverse the whole world

So that I can try to feel you closer

And, when I have no breath left,

I'll keep marching on, but a bit slowlier!

[Instrumental]

I weep and long for

But I've always imagined.

I weep and long for

Being closer to your side,

But this distance keeps me imprisoned.

[Chorus:]

I will traverse the whole world

So that I can try to feel you closer

And, when I have no breath left,

I'll keep marching on, but a bit slowlier!
