Apriti cuore [English translation]

In this warm October night, open up, my heart

Don't stay there, silently, saying nothing

I can't hear you, I can't hear you,

and I have kept you away from people

How many days have passed without a loving gesture

with the fake smiles and the empty words.

I've even thought, in this October night,

of throwing you away... of throwing you away.

Oh, I know, heart is not a calculation

a cold, math calculus

The heart doesn't know where it's going

It makes mistakes and stops, then goes on again

And its beat is not logical

It's like a child, free

The moment you tell him something it's not done

He turns around all offended

Don't ever leave it alone as I have done

Let alone power, money is not your god,

otherwise you'll also be left without even one friend.

I'll change, I'll change

Open up, my heart, please let yourself be heard

I'll change, I'll come back to how I was before

Owning nothing, nothing... nothing

Even in front of this sky that's black with stars,

and there are many stars tonight, maybe billions, you're not speaking, heart?

Or maybe it's me who cannot hear and because of my fear of feelings

I'm cynical and indifferent, I pretend I don't understand

But I have no more words on this October day

I can only hear, from afar, a mysterious sound

It's the night that slowly moves, and in a while the sun will rise.

I'll change, I'll change

Open up, my heart, please let yourself be heard

I'll change, I'll come back to how I was before

Owning nothing, nothing... nothing

I'll change, I'll change

Open up, my heart, please let yourself be heard

I'll change, I'll come back to how I was before

Owning nothing, nothing... nothing

I'll change, I'll change

Open up, my heart, please let yourself be heard

I'll change, I'll come back to how I was before

Owning nothing, nothing... nothing
