Blu [Parte II] [English translation]

If there's something I haven't said,

I haven't asked you - I haven't thought about it.

If there's something of ours in the world

that I've promised you but I haven't given you.

Like an excuse that stayed hanging,

a trip you didn't take later,

and that rose on the bed I haven't made peace with.

It stays on me.

Some rivers never become seas

but if I swim them perhaps they'll tell me what remains.

I'll seek refuge, I'll seek refuge

on a bed of leaves but I won't look down.

I'll defend myself, I'll defend myself

even if I've painted my face and my heart blue.

Don't think about it anymore, don't think about it anymore.

I know my people are there somewhere.

And then it happens that you have it

there on the tip of your tongue,

a word so, so small

no one has seen it before.

Hey, doll,

the cannon shots don't wake me up in the morning,

and loving you is a shitty thing that doesn't calm me down.

The carnival is outside and I don't have a mask.

You're meat, I must set the table.

Hey, doll,

some rivers do not become seas

and love makes noise in the silence.

I'll seek refuge in a bed of leaves.

I'll seek refuge, I'll seek refuge

on a bed of leaves but I won't look down.

I'll defend myself, I'll defend myself

even if I've painted my face and my heart blue.

Don't think about it anymore, don't think about it anymore.

I know my people are there somewhere.

I'll seek refuge,

where? Still.

Where? I still don't know.

I'll seek refuge,

where? Still.

Where? I still don't know.

I'll seek refuge, I'll seek refuge

on a bed of leaves but I won't look down.

I'll defend myself, I'll defend myself

even if I've painted my face and my heart blue.

Don't think about it anymore, don't think about it anymore.

I know my people are there somewhere.
