Ti porto al mare [English translation]

Get out and jump into traffic—

look at the people who compete

to be the first to pull away from the traffic lights—

and then stand in line at an ATM because—

that's life.

Then a miracle at lunch break—

an angel is at one of the tables—

you eat your toast in the corner,

then you raise your eyes and smile at me—

yes, right at me.

Look at me—

I am here for you.

I pick you up and then take you to the sea.

We lie in the sun all day long there

without needing to think about anything—

a little levity at times makes life better.

We need to live—

to love but without thinking

like the children who play

and pay no attention to the time—me and you.

Yes, I mean you!

I rush home and

run away with you.

I pick you up and then take you to the sea.

We lie in the sun all day long there

without needing to think about anything—

searching for beauty sometimes makes life better.

There are long days when I feel gloomy

inside.

If I look to the future, I cannot smile.

Then when the sun returns and the fog lifts,

I want to get out of the city.

I pick you up and then take you to the sea.

We lie in the sun all day long there

without needing to think about anything—

a little levity at times makes life better.

I pick you up and then take you to the sea.

We lie in the sun all day long there

without needing to think about anything—

at times a caress—

it's just a day with you—

with you—

with you—

with you.
