Lyrics & Translation
Discover the poignant Italian ballad 'L'emozione non ha voce' by Adriano Celentano. This song beautifully illustrates how deep emotions, especially love, can be felt so intensely that they don't need words. Learning this song offers a window into expressing powerful feelings and appreciating the nuances of Italian musical storytelling.
And I miss my breath a bit, if you're here there's too much light
My soul expands like summer music
Then the desire takes hold and ignites with your kisses
I will be sincere with you, I will remain what I am
Never dishonest, I swear, but if you betray, I won't forgive
I will always be your friend, though jealous as you know
I know I contradict myself, but you are precious to me
In my arms, you will sleep peacefully
And this is important, you know
To feel fully ourselves
You will give me another life that I don't know
You will be my companion, as long as I know you want it
Two different characters easily catch fire
But divided we are lost, we feel almost nothing
We are two bound together
By a love that gives us
The deep conviction
That no one will divide us
In my arms, you will sleep peacefully
And this is important, you know
To feel fully ourselves
You will give me another life that I don't know
You will be my companion
As long as you want it
And we will live as you know, only with sincerity
In love and in trust
Then it will be what it will be
In my arms, you will sleep peacefully
And this is important, you know
To feel fully ourselves
Fully ourselves
