Translation
Light
Defend me from long winters,
from all the doubts I don't have.
From the world that waits for me outside,
from my uncertainties,
from my own mistakes
which I'll invariably remake.
Defend me from my thoughts
that keep coming back here every time.
From the shallow idea
that one side is good
and the other is bad,
when in the end it's never like that.
And teach me to flow like the waves
that continuously break
at the bottom of sweet nothingness.
And even when I seem capable
of climbing the world,
you at least defend my insecurities.
You are my light
and you always shine inside my soul,
even tonight, this long and endless night.
Instead, everything changes,
you alight every cloud
'cause the sun exists even at the end of a tear
and it can never hurt.
It never hurts me.
Defend me from spectres and shadows,
my usual melancholy.
The usual and exhausting cynism
that all of the sudden
also turns my dreams
into simply comforting lies.
And when I resign myself to it
and the night comes back,
like a starless mother of uncertainties,
teach me to shine
the way the sun does,
'cause every night it goes does but it always resurges.
You are my light
and you always shine inside my soul,
even tonight, this long and endless night.
Instead, everything changes,
you alight every cloud
'cause the sun exists even at the end of a tear
and it can never hurt.
It never hurts me.
For me, you are light.
You protect this fragile heart
even tonight, this long and endless night.
Make me happy,
illuminate my soul with the sun
when a tear falls down in the darkness
and don't hurt me!
No, don't ever hurt me!
No, don't ever hurt me!
No, don't ever hurt me!
Never hurt me.
