La donna cannone [English translation]

I will throw this enormous heart of mine

into the stars one day.

I swear I will do it.

And over the blue of the circus tent

into the blue I will fly.

When the cannon lady

will turn into gold and silver.

Without going to the station

she will take the last train.

And in the face of the evil and the proud

my name will sparkle.

At the gates of the night

the day will stop.

An applause from the paying public

emphasizes it.

And from the mouth of the cannon

a song will be heard.

And with my hands, my love, I will grab yours.

And without words I will carry you into my heart.

And I will not be afraid

if I won't be as pretty as you say.

But we will fly in the sky in the flesh,

we will never return.

And without hunger, without thirst,

and without wings and without a net we will fly away.

So the cannon lady,

that great mystery will fly

All alone agains the black sky

she began her journey.

Everybody closed their eyes

on that very moment she disappeared.

Others lied and gave false testimonies

claiming they had never been there

And with my hands, my love, I will grab yours.

And without words I will carry you into my heart.

And I will not be afraid

if I won't be as pretty as you say.

But we will fly in the sky in the flesh,

we will never return.

And without hunger, without thirst,

and without wings and without a net we will fly away.
