ANDREA BOCELLI - Per amore
Song lyrics in Italian and English Translation
Io conosco la tua strada,
Ogni passo che farai,
Le tue ansie chiuse e i vuoti,
Sassi che allontanerai
Senza mai pensare che
Come roccia io ritorno in te.
Io conosco i tuoi respiri,
Tutto quello che non vuoi.
Lo sai bene che non vivi,
Riconoscerlo non puoi.
E sarebbe come se
Questo cielo in flamme
Ricadesse in me,
Come scena su un attore.
Per amore, hai mai fatto niente
Solo per amore?
Hai sfidato il vento e
Urlato mai,
Diviso il cuore stesso,
Pagato e riscommesso,
Dietro questa mania,
Che resta solo mia?
Per amore, hai mai corso senza fiato,
Per amore, perso e ricominciato?
E devi dirlo adesso
Quanto di te ci hai messo.
Quanto hai creduto tu in questa bugia.
E sarebbe come se
Questo fiume in piena
Risalisse a me,
Come china al suo pittore.
Per amore, hai mai speso tutto quanto,
La ragione, il tuo orgoglio fino al pianto?
Lo sai stasera resto,
Non ho nessun pretesto,
Soltanto una mania
Che resta forte e mia,
Dentro quest’anima che strappi via.
E te lo dico adesso,
Sincero con me stesso,
Quanto mi costa
Non saperti mia.
E sarebbe come se
Tutto questo mare
Annegasse in me.
I know your road,
Every step you'll take,
Your deep worries and empty spaces,
Stones that you'll move away
Without ever thinking that
Like a rock I return to you.
I know your sighs,
All that you don't want.
You know well that you don't live,
You can't admit it.
And it would be as if
This sky in flames
Fell down again on me,
Like a scene on an actor.
For love, you've never done anything
Just for love?
You've faced the wind and
Never screamed,
You've divided your own heart,
Paid and bet again,
Behind this mania,
That remains just in me?
For love, have you ever run breathless,
For love, have your lost and restarted?
And you must say now
How much you've made.
How much have you believed this lie.
And it would be as if
This river full of water
Would rise again to me,
Like a slope to its painter.
For love, have you ever spent all,
The reason, your pride until crying?
You know tonight I stay,
I have no excuse,
Just a mania
That remains strong and mine,
Inside this soul that rips off.
And I tell you now,
Honest with myself,
How much it hurts me
The fact that you're not mine.
And it would be as if
All this sea
Would drown me.
