Io posso stare senza te 00:26
Ma non senza il tuo sorriso 00:30
Che come una cometa cancella il buio dal mio viso 00:34
E sono stato senza te 00:39
Ma tu c'eri sempre 00:41
Seppellita nel mio domani come fossi un seme 00:44
Sei cresciuta lentamente 00:50
Era agosto e ti ho sentita 00:53
Avevo sabbia nelle mani, il tuo nome fra le dita 00:55
Per sentirmi ancora vivo 01:02
Tu sei come il mare, volevo dirtelo 01:05
Nascondi la parte migliore 01:11
Ti amo, voodoo love 01:13
È bello volersi bene e ogni tanto dirselo 01:16
Danziamo al buio insieme 01:21
Insieme voodoo love 01:24
01:29
Ti cercavo nei tuoi luoghi 01:32
Quelli in cui andavi sempre 01:34
Ma l'amore non usa gli occhi. 01:37
Hai l'odore della mia vita e di cose da scoprire 01:39
Di una notte a stare svegli e poi buonanotte al sole 01:45
Tu sei come il mare, volevo dirtelo 01:50
Nascondi la parte migliore 01:55
Ti amo, voodoo love 01:58
È bello volersi bene e ogni tanto dirselo 02:00
Danziamo al buio insieme 02:06
Insieme voodoo love 02:09
E senza difese il tuo respiro indosserò 02:14
Che bel rumore che fanno le cose quando iniziano. 02:18
Tu sei come il mare. 02:24
È bello volersi bene e ogni tanto dirselo 02:34
Danziamo al buio insieme 02:39
Insieme voodoo love 02:42
My voodoo love 02:47
02:51
Tu sei come il mare 02:57
03:01
My voodoo love 03:03
Insieme voodoo love 03:06
Tu sei come il male volevo dirtelo 03:07
My voodoo love 03:13
È bello volersi bene, il futuro non lo so 03:18
My voodoo love 03:24

[English]
I can be without you
but not without your smile
that, like a comet, erases the darkness from my face
And I have been without you
but you were always there
buried in my tomorrow as if I were a seed
you grew slowly
It was August and I heard you
I had sand in my hands, your name between my fingers
to feel alive again
You are like the sea, I wanted to tell you
Hide the best part
I love you, voodoo love
It's nice to love each other and sometimes say it
Let's dance in the dark together
Together, voodoo love
...
I was looking for you in your places
the ones you always went to
But love doesn't use eyes.
You have the scent of my life and things to discover
Of a night staying awake and then goodnight to the sun
You are like the sea, I wanted to tell you
Hide the best part
I love you, voodoo love
It's nice to love each other and sometimes say it
Let's dance in the dark together
Together, voodoo love
And defenseless, I will wear your breath
What a beautiful sound things make when they begin.
You are like the sea.
It's nice to love each other and sometimes say it
Let's dance in the dark together
Together, voodoo love
My voodoo love
...
You are like the sea
...
My voodoo love
Together, voodoo love
You are like evil, I wanted to tell you
My voodoo love
It's nice to love each other, I don't know the future
My voodoo love
...
