CORALINE [English translation]

Tell me your truths

Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths

Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths

Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths

Coraline, Coraline

Coraline as beautiful as the sun

Warrior with a zealous heart

Hair like red roses

Those precious copper-like wires, my love, take them to me

If you hear the bella sing you’ll see Coraline crying

She takes in the others’ pain and then carries it within her

Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths

Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths

Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths

Coraline, Coraline

But she knows the truth

Not everyone can go on with their heart split in two

It’s already cold

She’s just a child but she feels like a burden and sooner or later she’ll break

People will say: “she’s worth nothing

She can’t even get out a miserable door”

But one day, at least once, she’ll manage

And I told Coraline that she can grow up

Fetch her things and then leave

But she detects a monster that keeps her in a cage, that covers her way with explosive mines

And I told Coraline that she can grow up

Fetch her things and then leave

But Coraline doesn’t want to eat, no... yes, Coraline would like to disappear.

And Coraline cries

Coraline is anxious

Coraline wants the sea but she’s afraid of the water

And maybe sea is inside her

And every word is an axe, a wound on the back

Like a raft sailing on a swollen river

And maybe the river is inside her, inside her

I’ll be fire, I’ll be coldness

A repair during the winter

Whatever you breath

I’ll understand what’s inside you

I’ll be drinking water

The meaning of goodness

I’ll also be a soldier

Or a light in the evening

And I don’t ask for anything in return

Just a smile

Every little tear of yours is an ocean on my face

And I don’t ask for anything in return

Just some time

I’ll be a banner, a shield, or your silver sword, and...

And Coraline cries

Coraline is anxious

Coraline wants the sea but she’s afraid of the water

And maybe sea is inside her

And every word is an axe, a wound on the back

Like a raft sailing on a swollen river

And maybe the river is inside her, inside her

And tell me your truths

Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths

Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths

Coraline, Coraline, tell me your truths

Coraline, Coraline

Coraline, as beautiful as the sun

She lost the fruit of her womb

She never knew love

But a father that isn’t father-like at all

Told her : “in the city there’s a castle with walls so strong that if you go live inside it nothing will ever hurt you again

Nothing will ever hurt you again”
