Tu sei lei [English translation]

After all these years

I don't stop looking at you

sometimes still with an open mouth;

I won't really understand,

you won't stop being shocked –

how it never has to end.

You want to hide (your) faults from me,

while I like all of them;

but you do not want to hear it said...

And I watch you as you dream,

and I have to stay outside,

and I only have to guess...

After so many years and a day,

when the sea seems calm,

you come out again –

with that foreign name (of yours),

from those she has always been alone,

and soon, she won't have to anymore,

because...

You are her,

you are her,

among so many people.

You are her,

you are her,

and you've always been...

And those eyes, I know them

I've often seen them uncovered,

but I wasn't ever seeing the end (of them);

your heart accelerated

pupils dilated,

and you (still) don't give me back (your) heart.

After so many years and a day,

when the wind seems still,

you always come out –

with that foreign name (of yours),

from those who succeed at being alone,

but soon, she won't have to anymore,

because...

You are her,

you are her,

among so many people.

You are her,

you are her,

and you've always been...

If the whole universe

made us meet up again,

it wants to say something for sure...

You are her,

as you are,

inescapably.

And you saved me so many times,

from some other kind of death,

going straight to the truth.

And give me another day,

on which everything seems still,

but everything's changing,

everything proven,

and leave your scent in the air,

so as to tell me, "I'm there"

so as to tell me, "I'll always be here"

because...

You are her,

you are her,

among so many people.

You are her,

you are her,

and you've always been.

If the whole universe

made us meet again,

it wants to say something for sure...

You are her,

as you are,

inevitably.
