Amore puro [English translation]

My pure love

Buried in a thousand avalanches

I lost my happiness

I look for it fighting

I run away from this city

So that it can’t look at me

So that it can’t take a photograph

Of the condition of my heart

Which is now dancing slowly and still

Among the rocks of the memories

Now it’s here, laughed at and tired

Between memory and illusion

Of what was pure love.

This is our night

Run fast my angel

Like it was the last reason to stay alive

And if it will be love

Then treat it like a secret

Like the most precious gift you’ve received

That says why you live,

Why you die.

I can’t stand the fake and the traitors

So I’ll go away

And you, who do you live for? Who do you die for?

Even if it was the last word

Say it now and maybe one day I’ll come back

My pure love

I raised you in my dreams

And I got a tattoo of you on my heart

Having faith even in the mistakes

I leave my love only to you

Like a knight errant

And I walk, wandering away

From us even if the pain

That I’m filled with is huge

But I’m not afraid of the damage

My soul was delivered to you, only you and yours remains

This is our night

Run fast my angel

Like it was the last reason

To stay alive

And if it will be love

Then treat it like a secret

Like the most precious gift

Ever received, like me and you

My pure love

Which is maybe my cause of death

But it’ll be in the name of a lifetime

spent on the edge of a dream

For the music, the people who took care of my wounds

Those people, that music, showed me a future

and it was only pure love.
