Io nascerò [English translation]

If your blue is not equal to mine,

If you don't know the colour I have.

If you don't want to breathe with me,

I will live even without you.

Quicksand is under us

and you are much weaker now.

You and I -- split in half;

You and I -- distant, far from me

far from me ...

I will rise up

from where I left you, I will rise up --

I will not fear your cold wind!

I do not want to drown anymore!

I will rise up,

for me alone, I will rise up again --

No wind can hurt me anymore

Now I face the sea ...

If your film ends this way,

if there is a 'no' instead of a 'yes',

Quicksand is under us

the light extinguishes itself now

now ...

I will rise up

from where I left you, I will rise up --

I will not fear your cold wind!

I do not want to drown anymore!

I will rise up,

for me alone, I will rise up again --

No wind can hurt me anymore

Now I face the sea ...

I will rise up,

for me alone, I will rise up again --

No wind can hurt me anymore

I do not want to drown anymore!
