[Italiano]

[English]

♪ Se sarai vento canterai ♪

If you'll be the wind, you'll sing

♪ Se sarai acqua brillerai ♪

If you'll be the water, you'll shine

♪ Se sarai ciò che sarò ♪

If you'll be what I will be

♪ E se sarai tempo ti aspetterò per sempre ♪

And if you'll be time, I will wait for you forever

♪ Se sarai luce scalderai ♪

If you'll be the light, you'll warm

♪ Se sarai luna ti vedrò ♪

If you'll be the moon, I will see you

♪ E se sarai qui non lo saprò ♪

And if you'll be here, I won't know

♪ Ma se sei tu lo sentirò ♪

But if it's you, I will feel it

♪ Ovunque sarai ♪

Wherever you are

♪ Ovunque sarò ♪

Wherever I am

♪ In ogni gesto io ti cercherò ♪

In every gesture, I will seek you

♪ Se non ci sarai io lo capirò ♪

If you're not here, I will understand

♪ E nel silenzio io ti ascolterò ♪

And in the silence, I will listen to you

♪ Se sarò in terra mi alzerai ♪

If I am on earth, you will lift me up

♪ Se farà freddo brucerai ♪

If it's cold, you will burn for me

♪ E lo so che mi puoi sentire, oh ♪

And I know you can hear me, oh

♪ Oh, dove ogni anima ha un colore ♪

Oh, where every soul has a color

♪ E ogni lacrima ha il tuo nome ♪

And every tear has your name

♪ Se tornerai qui, se mai, lo sai che ♪

If you'll come back here, if ever, you know that

♪ Io ti aspetterò ♪

I will wait for you

♪ Ovunque sarai ♪

Wherever you are

♪ Ovunque sarò ♪

Wherever I am

♪ In ogni gesto io ti cercherò ♪

In every gesture, I will seek you

♪ Se non ci sarai io lo capirò ♪

If you're not here, I will understand

♪ E nel silenzio io ti ascolterò ♪

And in the silence, I will listen to you

♪ Io ti ascolterò ♪

I will listen to you

♪ Se sarai vento canterai ♪

If you'll be the wind, you'll sing
