[English]

Love has the duty to make you feel

Like when you were a child

Like a perfect place to disappear

Under the Berlin sky

I followed my instinct

Because it’s my destiny to stay close to you

Now that time rushes by so fast

All that’s left is the voice

Speak to me softly, because

Love makes noise

There’s a perfect place I’ve chosen for you

No need for excuses to live

In the middle of the desert, on Everest

Facing every obstacle

Loving each other is a miracle

Because distances are like the wind

They turn everything off and drain us inside

Every day is perfect for starting over

In this chaos

Hold on tight, because

Love makes noise

There’s a perfect place I’ve chosen for you

No need for excuses to live

In the middle of the desert or on Everest

Facing every obstacle

Loving each other is a miracle

In the middle of the desert or on Everest

Facing every obstacle

Loving each other is a miracle

Loving each other is a miracle

...

[Italian]

L'amore ha il dovere di farti sentire

Come quando eri bambino

Come un posto perfetto dove scomparire

Sotto il cielo di Berlino

Ho seguito l'istinto

Perché è il mio destino starti vicino

Ora che il tempo scompare via veloce

Resta solo la voce

Parlami piano, che

L'amore fa rumore

C'è un posto perfetto che ho scelto per te

Non servono scuse per vivere

In mezzo al deserto, sull'Everest

Davanti a ogni ostacolo

Amarsi è un miracolo

Perché le distanze sono come il vento

Spengono tutto e ci svuotano dentro

Ogni giorno è perfetto per ricominciare

In questo casino

Tieniti forte, che

L'amore fa rumore

C'è un posto perfetto che ho scelto per te

Non servono scuse per vivere

In mezzo al deserto o sull'Everest

Davanti a ogni ostacolo

Amarsi è un miracolo

In mezzo al deserto o sull'Everest

Davanti a ogni ostacolo

Amarsi è un miracolo

Amarsi è un miracolo
