Prima di dormire [English translation]

This is you, big eyes

This is you, beautiful eyes

Sleep slowly by my side

Sleep slowly in silence

And maybe I should talk to you

Maybe it would be better to talk

and to say those things that I can tell you only dreaming, and tell you

that I can't

And then the window opens up

and I start running, running outside

Outside there's smell of fresh grass

Imagination doesn't placate the colours

I stay here ready to recover

Here, intent to start back with you

Here, here still I don't move because if I change I remain

always like this, I always remain like this

And I look at you simply in the eyes and I see that it's you

The sheets barely touch you

Sometimes to love one has to make oneself hate, and hate, and hate and hate

Silence

Keep sleeping 'cause tomorrow we'll wake up here

Ready to rebuild here what remains of us, of me, of you

Tomorrow, tomorrow, we're waiting for a change that may never come and tomorrow is near already, tomorrow is never so far

Sleep, sleep

I come near you, then I go away, I'm always farther

And if I look for you I don't find your hand

This is you, tired eyes

This is me, absent eyes

I slowly sleep by your side, I slowly sleep in silence
