Se La Mia Tempesta

Non ci sono labbre piu' dolci
che hanno un sapore divino,
che sciolgono il cuore piu' freddo
e piu' triste che ho cercato di conquistare
con frasi ingannevoli che non avevamo effetto;
oh, avrei voluto tanto amarla e adorarla
piu' di una donna bellissima che ti fa subito innamorare
solo guardandola da lontano, scambiando gli sguardi!

Non c'e' piu' un caldo raggio di sole 
che riaccende la fiamma della passione; 
cammino e i miei passi sono lenti...
chi mi guarda non sa quanti frammenti
di crepacuore aumentano il dolore
di chi ha subito illusioni immense,
riducendoli ad un fiume di pioggia
che li trascina con tutta la sua rabbia...
e dove andro': incontrero' i cieli piu' grigi
e tanti giorni vissuti con tanta nostalgia!

Se la mia tempesta e' imprevedibile,
come il domani, o purtroppo anche noi:
non avro' la forza minima per combatterla
come altri domani che sono gia' passati:
essa mi abbattera' e mi distuggera'
se non vedro' quel volto che amai 
con tenerezza in tante meravigliose stagioni
piu' teneri dei pensieri nascosti nella memoria! 

Oh, pioggia cadi sul mio corpo piu' duro dell' argilla 
che non sente i brividi di un giornata oscura e gelida, 
e non e' disposto ad ascoltare il suo ritmo noioso che rattrista; 
oh, che tipo di speranza, nello spaventoso ignoto, gli dara'?

Catturami con un abbraccio 
che conforta un amante troppo deluso;;
che senso ha aggraparsi ai rimpianti
imperdonabili se sono illusivi 
e soffocano la gola senza un fiato alcuno?

Tempesta, vai via 
e fa volare i gabbiani
e le aquile per i cieli radiosi e infiniti
che appartengomo soltanto a loro;
inseguiamoli e scopriamo
quanto  e' preziosa
la loro amata liberta'
che noi tanto desideriamo!

Se la mia tempesta e' inprevedibile
come il domani: lascia 
che scateni la sua furia
quando sono in un rifugio sicuro
lontano da ogni possibile minaccia,
la' dove regna la vera serenita';
non avendo paura della morte 
e del sudore accettando il destino,
arredendosi all' oscurita'
e invocando l'ultimo desiderio!
 
English Translation:
 
There are no longer 
lips that taste totally divine,
or even a warm ray of sunshine
that melts the coldest
and saddest heart...
I've tried to conquer!

I walk and my steps are slow
who looks at me does not know
how many fragments of heartbreaks
increase the pain of who bears old illusions,
reducing him to another frightening river 
that drags him along with all its anger,
and where I will go to recount lies:
I will only meet grayer skies, 
and days lived with sadness!

If my storm is unpredictable as tomorrow,
I'll have no minimal strength and the silliest reason
to fight it as a feeble and lonely sparrow...
like the others that have already passed;
it will beat and destroy me util I'll be dead...
if I don't see that face I loved every pretty season 
with a tenderness deeper than anyone else:
that's when true feelings become so tense!  

Oh, rain fall on body stronger than clay 
that doesn't feel the shivers of a frigid day,  
or is willing to listen to its pounding and boring rhythm...
what kind of hope, in the scary unknown, will it give him?

Capture me with a hug that comforts a sad lover,
what's the point of clinging to an unforgivable regret...
if it saddens and suffocates the breathless throat?
Storm, go away and make the seagulls and eagles soar
through the huge and beautiful skies that only belong to them: 
let's chase them and discover how precious is their freedom! 

If my storm is unpredictable as tomorrow, let it unleash
its fury when I'm in a safe haven away from any possible threat:
where serenity reigns, not being afraid of death and sweat...
accepting fate, surrendering to darkness invoking my last wish!
