[English]

Cover my head with sand under the sun,

When you think there are too many words...

Tell me if my taste is still on your lips

When you think there are too many fears.

Talk to me about love if

When a flower blooms, you will find me

Without words, my love.

Talk to me about love if

When a flower dies, you will find yourself

Breathless, my love.

Your castle crumbles among anger, sand, and sun

When you think the words are sweet

You tell me that my taste is still on your lips

When you think the fears are in vain

Talk to me about love if

When a flower blooms, you will find me

Without words, my love.

Talk to me about love if

When a flower dies, you will find yourself

Breathless, my love.

Just tell me how many alternatives you want

If when I speak, you never listen to me,

My love...

Among all, which alternative are you?

My love...

Without more words

Without more fears

You...

Talk to me about love if

When a flower blooms, you will find me

Without words, my love.

Talk to me about love if,

When a flower dies, you will find yourself

Breathless, my love.

Without words, my love

Breathless, my love

...

[Italian]

Coprimi la testa con la sabbia sotto il sole,

Quando pensi che sian troppe le parole...

Dimmi se c'è ancora sulle labbra il mio sapore

Quando pensi che sian troppe le paure.

Parlami d'amore se

Quando nasce un fiore mi troverai

Senza parole amore.

Parlami d'amore se

Quando muore un fiore ti troverai

Senza respiro amore.

Crolla il tuo castello tra la rabbia, sabbia e sole

Quando pensi che sian dolci le parole

Mi dici che c'è ancora sulle labbra il mio sapore

Quando pensi che sian vane le paure

Parlami d'amore se

Quando nasce un fiore mi troverai

Senza parole amore.

Parlami d'amore se

Quando muore un fiore ti troverai

Senza respiro amore.

Tu dimmi quante alternative vuoi

Se quando parlo non mi ascolti mai,

Amore...

Fra tutte, quale alternativa sei?

Amore...

Senza piu parole

Senza piu paure

Tu...

Parlami d'amore se

Quando nasce un fiore mi troverai

Senza parole amore.

Parlami d'amore se,

Quando muore un fiore ti troverai

Senza respiro amore.

Senza parole amore

Senza respiro amore
