La costruzione di un amore [English translation]

The construction of love

Tears the hand veins apart

It mixes up blood and sweat

If you have any left

The construction of love

Doesn't make up for the pain

It's like a sand altar

On the seashore

The construction of my love

I like watching it going up

Like a skyscraper of a hundred floors

Or like a sunflower

And I put in my experience

Like in a Christams tree

Like a present to a wife

Something that stays there and doesn't do any harm

And at every floor there's a smile

For every winter we have to get over

At every floor [there is] a paradise to be lived

Behind the door a little love

For the times when we won't have time to make love

For the times when you'll let just my picture be carried away

But in the meanwhile I look at this love

That gets closer and closer to the sky

Like behind the horizon it were still sky

It's me, I am here and I am surprised

So much that I could bite my arms

But no! it's really me, the mirror has my face
