C'è un'aria strana stasera 00:20
E torno a casa in silenzio 00:22
Tra i rumori del traffico 00:24
E il telefono spento 00:27
E la gente mi guarda 00:29
Ma non ho niente di vero 00:33
Io che basta pensarti e già mi manca il respiro 00:36
È da tempo che lo cerco questo tempo che mi manca 00:42
È da tempo che sai penso che anche il tempo non mi basta 00:48
So quanto costa per te 00:54
Ma cerco solo un motivo 00:57
Per sentirmi vivo e non è semplice 01:00
So quanto pesano in te quelle paure lontane 01:05
Meriti anche tu un posto da visitare, hm hm hm 01:10
Hm hm hm hm 01:22
C'è un'aria strana nel cielo 01:29
Esco da casa in silenzio 01:33
Non è ancora neanche l'alba, ma a dormire non ci penso 01:36
Io cerco solo di capirti 01:42
E la notte non ci dormo 01:45
Se soltanto avessi pace saprei essere come loro 01:48
È da tempo che lo cerco questo tempo che mi manca 01:54
È da tempo che sai penso che anche il tempo non mi basta 02:00
So quanto costa per te 02:06

So quanto pesano in te quelle paure lontane 02:17
Meriti anche tu 02:24
Un posto da visitare 02:26
E ti dedico il rumore 02:30
Di queste inutili parole 02:33
Un quadro senza il suo colore 02:36
Che è andato via volare altrove 02:39
Io ti dedico il silenzio, tanto non comprendi le parole 02:42
Questa sera provo a farlo 02:48
Questa sera io ti chiamo 02:51
E tanto tu non mi rispondi 02:53
E tanto poi se mi rispondi 02:54
Dici che non siamo pronti 02:56
Ed io so quanto costa per te 02:57
Ma cerco solo un motivo 03:00
Per sentirmi vivo e non è semplice 03:04

[English]
There's a strange feeling tonight
And I go home in silence
Amidst the noise of traffic
And my phone turned off
And people look at me
But I have nothing real to show
I just thinking of you and I already can't breathe
I've been searching for this time I've been missing for a while now
I've been thinking that even time isn't enough for me
I know how much it costs you
But I'm just looking for a reason
To feel alive, and it's not easy
I know how much those distant fears weigh on you
You also deserve a place to visit, hm hm hm
Hm hm hm hm
There's an odd feeling in the sky
I leave the house in silence
It's not even dawn yet, but I can't sleep
I'm just trying to understand you
And I can't sleep at night
If only I had peace, I’d know how to be like them
I've been searching for this time I've been missing for a while now
I've been thinking that even time isn't enough for me
I know how much it costs you
But I'm just looking for a reason
To feel alive, and it's not easy
I know how much those distant fears weigh on you
You also deserve
A place to visit
And I dedicate to you the noise
Of these useless words
A picture without its color
That has flown away, soaring elsewhere
I dedicate the silence to you, since you don’t understand words
Tonight I’ll try to do it
Tonight I’ll call you
And you won’t answer me
And even if you do,
You’ll say we’re not ready
And I know how much it costs you
But I’m just looking for a reason
To feel alive, and it’s not easy
I know how much those distant fears weigh on you
You also deserve
A place to visit
Wouh oh oh, oh oh
You also deserve a place to visit

Key Grammar Structures

  • C'è un'aria strana stasera

    ➔ Existential "c'è"

    ➔ Uses "c'è" (there is) to introduce the presence of a strange atmosphere. Demonstrates basic sentence structure.

  • Io che basta pensarti e già mi manca il respiro

    ➔ Subjunctive mood (implicit), conjunction "che"

    ➔ The sentence implies a subjunctive mood because the feeling of missing someone is a consequence of simply thinking about them. "Che" connects the pronoun "io" to the clause expressing the consequence. Demonstrates a somewhat advanced use of syntax to express a complex emotion.

  • È da tempo che lo cerco questo tempo che mi manca

    ➔ Cleft sentence with "è da tempo che...", relative clause with "che"

    ➔ Emphasizes the duration of the search for time. "È da tempo che..." highlights the fact that the search has been ongoing for a long time. The relative clause "che mi manca" describes the missing time. Showcases sentence structuring for emphasis and complex description.

  • So quanto costa per te

    ➔ Indirect question with "quanto"

    "Quanto" introduces an indirect question, indicating the speaker knows the cost for the other person but doesn't state it directly. Demonstrates understanding of complex question formation.

  • Meriti anche tu un posto da visitare

    ➔ Infinitive clause as complement of a noun

    "Da visitare" is an infinitive clause functioning as a complement to the noun "posto" (place). It describes the kind of place the person deserves. Demonstrates a slightly more advanced way to modify nouns.

  • E ti dedico il rumore Di queste inutili parole

    ➔ Genitive case with "di"

    "Di queste inutili parole" uses "di" to express a genitive relationship, indicating that the noise is *of* these useless words. Demonstrates the use of prepositions to show possession or relation.

  • Che è andato via volare altrove

    ➔ Compound verb tense (passato prossimo with intransitive verb), infinitive as adverbial modifier

    "È andato via" is the *passato prossimo* of the verb *andare*, indicating a completed action in the past. "Volare altrove" (to fly elsewhere) is an infinitive phrase modifying the verb *andare*, indicating *how* or *why* it went away. Demonstrates sophisticated use of verb tenses and infinitive constructions.

  • Questa sera provo a farlo

    ➔ Verb phrase with preposition + infinitive

    "Provo a farlo" uses the verb "provare" (to try) followed by the preposition "a" and the infinitive "fare" (to do). This structure is common for expressing attempts or intentions. Demonstrates a common, but important, verb construction.
