One day from a cliff
I dived in the deep
And I joined with my path
The sky and the sea
Where the blue fades to black
And the sharks go to sleep
I saw her laying there
Where the fishermen sink
So this is the day
Our skins will meet
The day five hundred birds
Ceased to sing in that creek
So the beast with her tongue
Stroke the bottom of my feet
And my eyes turned to glass
And my soul turned to steel
A silence came out of my mouth
when I tried to tell her about
those untold grieves
But the water spoke for me
When it started to breath
Sending waves full of sorrow
near the coast and her trees
There's a sound you can hear if you're breathing quietly
Rising from the foams and dying with the waves at your feet
It's the sound and the whisper of my melancholy
Who was born from the fissure of that bad alchemy
There's a place where I lay and the sun cannot see
Where the blue fades to black and the sharks go to sleep
The same place where my heart broke in two thousands fish
Helping her to get out of the water freely

Un attimo ti prego amore
Due passi, che ti colgo ancora un fiore
Et vai avanti, saltellando, sei vapore
Ma che gusto avranno le vie, senza il tuo odore ?
Un altro natale, ti prego amore
Dai che dopo sempre arriva, arriva il sole
Ma già ti volti e guardi, lontano, le onde nere
Di questo mare più profondo del nostro amore
E se posso, ti rubbo un bacio, amore
Perchè son pochi et pochi saranno, ma che sapore
Il ricordo di queste labbra dolce amare
Dopo un gelato dolcissimo, salvia e limone
Ma come fà il cielo grigio ad accettare
Di convivere passivo e mai sfiorare
Le bianche curve del oceano e baciare
La schiena bellissima di questo mare ?
E quella notte a capodanno, amore ?
Occhi negli'occhi, ci specchiammo per ore e ore
E si aprì il cielo e vissi il cosmo e mi spezzò il cuore
Il tuo sorriso dove nasce e già muore,
il nostro amore
