Il canto libero del mare [English translation]

My love is not made with the cement of a house

Or with a brides' white veils

It's not made of sheets in the sun

Of watermarked paper, nor of violets

You can't explain my love with a poet's words

Nor even with an actors' gestures

It's not transferable, it doesn't die

My love is made only

With the free song of the sea

That the wind cannot suffocate

Time won't be able to modify

What you never wanted to hear

And as an old fisherman once said

"If you had a thousand nets to cast

There are only two things that you can't fish

Love, and the free song of the sea"

Love is like the free song of the sea

My love is made of corners of the evening, of meetings,

Of complicit and welcoming front doors

Of projects, and kisses, how many, how many,

I talk to you now and you don't hear it

Undress yourself gazelle, how and when you want, with whom you want

But this has nothing to do with love

A love like the wonder

Of those who are still listening to

The free song of the sea

That hits the mountains and the plains

Breathe strongly, feel its taste

Why do you still insist to refuse

It's like children's enthusiasm

It explodes and doesn't admit to conditions

My love is like this, it cannot reason

It's like the free song of the sea

Love is like the free song of the sea

And I want to dedicate it to you
