[English]

I feel you even without sound

Lies with a sweet taste

Through a million nights (I feel you)

Playing and calling my name

On the keys of a sampler

But maybe I don't want to know (Now)

If you talk about me everywhere

Then about me, just to get noticed

Men talk for me

As if they could read my mind

But my life is not a Broadway premiere

Headlines that slander for next to nothing

What kind of shelter are you for me?

Under the rain you say nothing to me

I don't understand if

You love me, you hate me

While another night shines on my body, body

Baby, move your body, body

You love me or you hate me

I shut out these voices while I'm vogueing, vogueing

Fires in your eyes, I see fires

I flew away on a white horse

And you, no, in the night you were gone

Mine, only mine, it doesn't matter much anymore

If in the end you won't be the one to save me

You love me, you hate me

While another night shines on my body, body

Fires in your eyes, I see fires

With you I'm in paradise

But dying with a smile

Light arms and legs (In a dream)

Girls play with me in a hotel

All very amusing

But my life is not made for this runway

You say I only cause trouble

What kind of shelter are you for me?

If when it rains you're not there

Then I don't understand if

You love me, you hate me

While another night shines on my body, body

Baby, move your body, body

You love me or you hate me

I shut out these voices while I'm vogueing, vogueing

Fires in your eyes, I see fires

I flew away on a white horse

And you, no, in the night you were gone

Mine, only mine, it doesn't matter much anymore

If in the end you won't be the one to save me

You love me, you hate me

While another night shines on my body, body

Fires in your eyes, I see fires

(Move to the rhythm)

(Move to the rhythm of the beat)

(Move to the rhythm)

(Move to the rhythm of the beat)

(Dance all night, dance all night)

(Dance all night, dance all night)

(Move to the rhythm)

You love me, you hate me

While another night shines on my body, body

Baby, move your body, body

You love me or you hate me

I shut out these voices while I'm vogueing, vogueing

Fires in your eyes, I see fires

I flew away on a white horse

And you, no, in the night you were gone

Mine, only mine, it doesn't matter much anymore

If in the end you won't be the one to save me

You love me, you hate me

While another night shines on my body, body

Fires in your eyes, I see fires

(You love me, you hate me)

(While another night shines on my body, body)

(Fires in your eyes, I see fires)

[Italian]

Ti sento anche senza rumore

Bugie con un dolce sapore

In fondo a un milione di sere (Ti sento)

Suonare, chiamare il mio nome

Sui tasti di un campionatore

Ma forse non voglio sapere (Adesso)

Se in giro parlerai di me

Poi di me, per farti notare solamente

Uomini parlano per me

Come se mi leggessero la mente

Ma la mia vita non è una premiere di Broadway

Titoli che infamano per due soldi

Tu chе riparo sei per me?

Sotto la pioggia non mi dici niеnte

Non capisco se

Mi ami, mi odi

Mentre un'altra notte brilla sul mio body, body

Baby, move your body, body

Mi ami o mi odi

Spengo queste voci mentre faccio vogueing, vogueing

Nei tuoi occhi fuochi, vedo fuochi

Volavo via sopra un cavallo bianco

E tu, no, nella notte non c'eri più

Mia, solo mia, non importa più tanto

Se poi a salvarmi non sarai tu

Mi ami, mi odi

Mentre un'altra notte brilla sul mio body, body

Nei tuoi occhi fuochi, vedo fuochi

Con te sono in paradiso

Morendo però col sorriso

Le braccia e le gambe leggere (In sogno)

Ragazze giocano con me in un hotel

Tutto molto divertente

Ma la mia vita non è fatta per questa runway

Dici di me che faccio solo danni

Tu che riparo sei per me?

Se quando piove non ci sei

Poi non capisco se

Mi ami, mi odi

Mentre un'altra notte brilla sul mio body, body

Baby, move your body, body

Mi ami o mi odi

Spengo queste voci mentre faccio vogueing, vogueing

Nei tuoi occhi fuochi, vedo fuochi

Volavo via sopra un cavallo bianco

E tu, no, nella notte non c'eri più

Mia, solo mia, non importa più tanto

Se poi a salvarmi non sarai tu

Mi ami, mi odi

Mentre un'altra notte brilla sul mio body, body

Nei tuoi occhi fuochi, vedo fuochi

(Move to the rhythm)

(Move to the rhythm of the beat)

Key Grammar Structures

• per farti notare solamente

  ➔ `per` + Causative `fare` + Infinitive

  ➔ Using "`per` + infinitive" to express purpose. The structure "`farti`" is the causative verb "fare" (to make/cause) conjugated in the infinitive form (`fare`) and combined with the direct object pronoun "ti" (you), becoming "farti" (to make you). It precedes the infinitive "`notare`" (to notice), meaning "to make you notice/to get yourself noticed".

• Come se mi leggessero la mente

  ➔ `come se` + Imperfect Subjunctive

  ➔ "Come se" (as if) introduces a hypothetical situation or comparison, which requires the verb in the following clause ("`leggessero`") to be in the imperfect subjunctive tense. "`Leggessero`" is the third-person plural imperfect subjunctive of "leggere" (to read).

• Tu che riparo sei per me?

  ➔ Relative Pronoun `che` (Predicative)

  ➔ The relative pronoun "`che`" usually introduces a clause modifying a noun. Here, it's used in a structure where the relative clause describes the subject ("Tu") in a predicative way ("che riparo sei"). It's like saying "You, who are a shelter for me?".

• Volavo via sopra un cavallo bianco

  ➔ Imperfect Tense + Phrasal Verb

  ➔ "Volavo" is the imperfect tense of "volare" (to fly), used here to describe a continuous or habitual past action or state ("I was flying"). "`Volavo via`" is a phrasal verb meaning "I was flying away".

• nella notte non c'eri più

  ➔ `esserci` (Imperfect) + `non... più`

  ➔ "C'eri" is the second-person singular imperfect tense of "esserci" (to be there). The structure "`non c'eri più`" uses the negative construction "`non... più`" meaning "no longer" or "not anymore", so the phrase means "you were no longer there".

• Se poi a salvarmi non sarai tu

  ➔ Conditional `Se` + Future Tense + `a` + Infinitive

  ➔ The clause starts with "`Se`" (if), introducing a future condition. "`Sarai`" is the second-person singular future tense of "essere" (to be). The structure "`a salvarmi`" uses the preposition "`a`" before the infinitive "`salvare`" (to save), common after certain verbs or implying purpose/direction, combined with the object pronoun "`mi`" (me).

• Morendo però col sorriso

  ➔ Gerund + Adverb `però`

  ➔ "Morendo" is the gerund form of "morire" (to die), used to describe an action happening simultaneously with the main verb (implied "I am" or "I was"). "`Però`" is an adverb meaning "but" or "however", adding a contrast or nuance. The phrase means "Dying, however, with a smile".

• non è fatta per questa runway

  ➔ Passive Voice

  ➔ "È fatta" is the third-person singular present tense of "essere" (to be) followed by the past participle "`fatta`" (made, done) of the verb "fare" (to do/make). This forms the passive voice, indicating that the subject ("la mia vita" - my life) is receiving the action, meaning "is not made".
