Margherita [English translation]

I cant stay still

with hand into hand

I should do so many things

before tomorrow comes

and if she is already asleep

I cant rest

I think of the way when she wakes up

she doesnt forget me ever

because this long night

isnt black more than black

become big, sweet moon

refills the whole sky

and because her smile

could be back again

shine tomorrow Sun

like you never did before

and to make them sing later

[b]the songs you've learnt[b]

i will make a silence

that no one ever felt

i will wake up all lovers

I will talk from hours and hours

we will hug stronger

because she wants the love

then we'll run through the streets

and we'll start to dance

because she wants the joy

because she hates the resentment

then with buckets of paint

we paint all the walls

houses, alleys and palaces

because she likes the colours

we'll pick all the flowers

that could give the spring

we make a credle

to love each other at the night

and then we come to the sky

and take a star

because Margherita is good

because Margherita is beatuful

because Margherita is sweet

Because Margherita is real

because Margerita loves

and the whole night does it

Becuase Margherita is a dream

because Margherita is salt

because Margherita is wind

and doesnt know that can make me feel bad

because Margherita is everything

and she is my insanity

Margherita, Margherita

Margherita is mine now

Margherita is mine
