Per Lucia [English translation]

Good evening when you'll be here

You'll take off the Winter

And you'll hang it up

You'll have two arms

As big as a forest

And the calm after the storm

Find again for Lucia

The whitest sheet

And then start again

I'd like, for instance

To tie her hair

With a thread of wind

There will be for Lucia

The fullest moon

But it won't be enough

I'd like, as I keep going,

A sea of corn

To cherish her once in a while

Goodnight when you'll turn off

You'll wear the stars and you'll dream

You'll have a calm sea

Where to sail into

And silence

When you'll want to speak

For delicate Lucia

I'll be her shadow

Drawn on the street

I'd like, for instance

To open for her the doors

Which close the world

It takes few things for Lucia

She alone fills

Your emptiest day

I wish so much

To give her back a smile

On her slightly tired face

What's on the other side of the wall?

Hold your breath and then jump towards me

The rifle shots are far yet

We'll open the sky with our hands

Long live Lucia

And water from the river

For all her wounds

I want bright lights

The biggest party

Through all the town

For scared Lucia

May this pen of mine

Become a sword

With Lucia by my side

May the story keep going
