Cosa ci fai What are you doing 00:17
In mezzo a tutta questa gente? In the middle of all these people? 00:20
Sei tu che vuoi Is it what you want? 00:26
O in fin dei conti non ti frega niente? Or deep down, do you not care at all? 00:29
Tanti ti cercano Many are looking for you 00:34
Spiazzati da una luce senza futuro Thrown off by a light with no future 00:37
Altri si allungano Others reach out 00:42
Vorrebbero tenerti nel loro buio They'd like to keep you in their darkness 00:45
Ti brucerai You'll burn yourself out 00:50
Piccola stella senza cielo Little star without a sky 00:54
Ti mostrerai You'll show yourself 00:58
Ci incanteremo mentre scoppi in volo We'll be enchanted as you burst in flight 01:02
Ti scioglierai You'll melt away 01:07
Dietro una scia, un soffio, un velo Behind a trail, a breath, a veil 01:10
Ti staccherai You'll break away 01:15
Perché ti tiene su soltanto un filo, sai Because only a thread is holding you up, you know 01:19
01:26
Tieniti su Hold on tight 01:33
Le altre stelle son disposte The other stars are willing 01:36
Solo che tu Only you 01:41
A volte credi non ti basti Sometimes think it's not enough for you 01:44
Forse capiterà Maybe it will happen 01:48
Che ti si chiuderanno gli occhi ancora That your eyes will close again 01:52
O soltanto sarà Or maybe it will just be 01:57
Una parentesi di una mezz'ora A parenthesis of half an hour 02:00
Ti brucerai You'll burn yourself out 02:05
Piccola stella senza cielo Little star without a sky 02:08
Ti mostrerai You'll show yourself 02:13
Ci incanteremo mentre scoppi in volo We'll be enchanted as you burst in flight 02:17
Ti scioglierai You'll melt away 02:21

Cosa ci fai
What are you doing
In mezzo a tutta questa gente?
In the middle of all these people?
Sei tu che vuoi
Is it what you want?
O in fin dei conti non ti frega niente?
Or deep down, do you not care at all?
Tanti ti cercano
Many are looking for you
Spiazzati da una luce senza futuro
Thrown off by a light with no future
Altri si allungano
Others reach out
Vorrebbero tenerti nel loro buio
They'd like to keep you in their darkness
Ti brucerai
You'll burn yourself out
Piccola stella senza cielo
Little star without a sky
Ti mostrerai
You'll show yourself
Ci incanteremo mentre scoppi in volo
We'll be enchanted as you burst in flight
Ti scioglierai
You'll melt away
Dietro una scia, un soffio, un velo
Behind a trail, a breath, a veil
Ti staccherai
You'll break away
Perché ti tiene su soltanto un filo, sai
Because only a thread is holding you up, you know
...
...
Tieniti su
Hold on tight
Le altre stelle son disposte
The other stars are willing
Solo che tu
Only you
A volte credi non ti basti
Sometimes think it's not enough for you
Forse capiterà
Maybe it will happen
Che ti si chiuderanno gli occhi ancora
That your eyes will close again
O soltanto sarà
Or maybe it will just be
Una parentesi di una mezz'ora
A parenthesis of half an hour
Ti brucerai
You'll burn yourself out
Piccola stella senza cielo
Little star without a sky
Ti mostrerai
You'll show yourself
Ci incanteremo mentre scoppi in volo
We'll be enchanted as you burst in flight
Ti scioglierai
You'll melt away
Dietro una scia, un soffio, un velo
Behind a trail, a breath, a veil
Ti staccherai
You'll break away
Perché ti tiene su soltanto un filo, sai
Because only a thread is holding you up, you know
...
...
Ti brucerai
You'll burn yourself out
Piccola stella senza cielo
Little star without a sky
Ti mostrerai
You'll show yourself
Ci incanteremo mentre scoppi in volo
We'll be enchanted as you burst in flight
Ti scioglierai
You'll melt away
Dietro una scia, un soffio, un velo
Behind a trail, a breath, a veil
Ti staccherai
You'll break away
Perché ti tiene su soltanto un filo
Because only a thread is holding you up
