O teu nome [English translation]

Just to keep my sadness at bay

And to light up my heart

I need so much more, I'm certain

Than just this piano and a song

I need to release into the luminous night

The name that suffocates me from within my chest

And burns my mouth

I need to release it into the four winds

So that I can then follow it wherever it goes

Or then whisper like this, nice and softly

Enveloping with affection

Your name, my love

For its entirety is poetry

It runs through my chest like a river

It returns joy to my eyes

It leaves a tingle in my heart

For its entirety is a melody

For its entirety is perfection

In light, it is darkness

I need to say it slowly

I need to spell it letter by letter

Or instead drink it up like a wine

That gives the strength to carry on

When one's strength is waning

I need to release it into the four winds

So that I can then follow it wherever it goes

Or then whisper like this, nice and softly

Enveloping with affection

Your name, my love

For its entirety is a melody

For its entirety is perfection

In light, it is darkness

I need to release it into the four winds

So that I can then follow it wherever it goes

Or then whisper like this, nice and softly

Enveloping with affection

Your name, my love
