La costruzione di un amore [English translation]

the building of a love

break hand wrists

mixes blood and sweat

if you still have some

the building of a love

doesn't repay for pain

it's like a sandy altar

on sea shore

the building of my love

i like watching it grow

like a a hundred skyscraper

or like a sunflower

and i use experience

like a christmas tree

like a gift to a bride

something that stays there

and that doesn't hurt

and on every floor there's a smile

for every winter to pass by

on every floor there's a Heaven

to consume

behind a door a bit of love

for when there will be no time to make love

for when you will want to throw away

just my picture

and in the meanwhile i watch this love

that comes closer to heaven

like if, after so much love,

sky was still enough

and i'm here

and i'm surprised

so much to bite my arms

but no, it's really me

mirror has my face

it's me that watch this love

that comes closer to heaven

like if, after horizon

there should be more sky

and this all surprises me

so much that if it ends now

i know i would ask

for it to fall on me

and the lucky of a love

how i know it can change

after you say i did it just to do

but it was not to die

you say how beautiful is going back to a life

that looked over

how beautiful is going back to see

and what's worst is that everything's true

because

the building of a love

break hand wrists

mixes blood and sweat

if you still have some

the building of a love

doesn't repay for pain

it's like a sandy altar

on sea shore

and in the meanwhile i watch this love

that comes closer to heaven

like if, after so much love,

sky was still enough

and i'm here

and i'm surprised

so much to bite my arms

but no, it's really me

mirror has my face

it's me that watch this love

that comes closer to heaven

like if, after horizon

there should be more sky

and this all surprises me

so much that if it ends now

i know i would ask

for it to fall on me

yes.
