L'elefante e la farfalla [English translation]

I'm the elephant and I can't pass through

I slowly drag the weight on me,

I live the shame and I eat alone and you don't know

the pain of dreaming, for someone who is never allowed to...

I'm the elephant and I hide

but there's no hiding place as deep

I can't escape, such a pain [for me] to appear like this

to your gaze which I love and which laughs at me

You are a butterfly, light and free on me.

Ooh, never, never will I reach you

you break my heart and go

up there.

I'm the elephant, what can I do?

I'm stuck to the ground and to this love,

I try following you, but I fall down and I stay like that

You can't even help me, I beg of you, go away

You're a butterfly, light and free on me.

Ooh, never, never will I reach you

you break my heard and go

away from me.

Inside of me, inside of me

I have the heart of a butterfly

and you'll never be able to see

how similar to you it is... (x2)

Inside of me, inside of me

I have the heart of a butterfly.
