Elisa - Una poesia anche per te

Lyrics:

Italian:

Forse non sai quel che darei
Perché tu sia felice
Piangi lacrime di aria
Lacrime invisibili
Che solamente gli angeli
san portar via

Ma cambierà stagione
ci saranno nuove rose

E ci sarà
dentro te e al di là
dell'orizzonte
una piccola
poesia

Ci sarà
forse esiste già al di là
dell'orizzonte
una poesia anche per te

Vorrei rinascere per te
e ricominciare insieme come se
non sentissi più dolore
ma tu hai tessuto sogni di cristallo troppo coraggiosi e
fragili
per morire adesso
solo per un rimpianto

Ci sarà
dentro e te e al di là
dell'orizzonte
una piccola poesia

Ci sarà
dentro e te e al di là
dell'orizzonte
una poesia anche per te

Perdona e dimenticherai
per quanto possa fare male in fondo sai
che sei ancora qui
e dare tutto e dare tanto quanto il tempo in cui il tuo segno rimarrà
questo nodo lo sciolga il sole come sa fare con la neve

Ci sarà
dentro e te e al di là
dell'orizzonte
una piccola poesia

Ci sarà
forse esiste già al di là
dell'orizzonte
una poesia anche per te
anche per te

English:

Maybe you do not know what would
For you to be happy
Weeping tears of air
Invisible Tears
That only the angels
saint to carry via

But change season
There will be new roses

And there will be
inside yourself and beyond
the horizon
a small
poetry

There will be
perhaps there is already beyond
the horizon
a poem for you too

I would be born to you
and start again as if all
not feel more pain
but you have woven crystal dreams too courageous and
fragile
to die now
only one regret

There will be
inside and you and beyond
the horizon
A small poem

There will be
inside and you and beyond
the horizon
a poem for you too

Forgive and forget

though it may do badly in bottom you know
you're still here
and give everything and give as much as long as your mark will remain
loosen the knot that the sun does come with the snow

There will be
inside and you and beyond
the horizon
A small poem

There will be
perhaps there is already beyond
the horizon
a poem for you too
for you too

Elisa - Eppure Sentire (Un Senso di Te)

Lyrics:

Italian:

A un passo dal possibile

A un passo da te
Paura di decidere
Paura di me

Di tutto quello che non so
Di tutto quello che non ho

Eppure sentire
Nei fiori tra l'asfalto
Nei cieli di cobalto - c'è

Eppure sentire
Nei sogni in fondo a un pianto
Nei giorni di silenzio - c'è

un senso di te

C'è un senso do te

Eppure sentire
Nei fiori tra l'asfalto
Nei cieli di cobalto - c'è

Eppure sentire
Nei sogni in fondo a un pianto
Nei giorni di silenzio - c'è

Un senso di te

C'è un senso di te

Un senso di te

C'è un senso di te

English:

A step away from a possible

One step from you
Fear of deciding
Fear me

Of all that I do not know
Of all that I have

Yet to hear
In the flowers between asphalt
Cobalt in heaven - there is

Yet to hear
In the dreams at the bottom of a weeping
In the days of silence - there is

a sense of yourself

There is a sense do you

Yet to hear
In the flowers between asphalt
Cobalt in heaven - there is

Yet to hear
In the dreams at the bottom of a weeping
In the days of silence - there is

A sense of yourself

There is a sense of yourself

A sense of yourself

There is a sense of yourself

Elisa - The Waves

Lyrics:

I’ll get away, get in the car
I’ll reach the shore before sunrise
And I’ll watch the moon and the stars
I’ll tell them everything about us

I left last night
I reached the shore
Trying to find everything I lost
In a thousand waves
A million waves
Still, somewhere I am sure

That I will see your face
I will see you there

Morning sun
Before you will rise
Before you’ll come and shine again on us
Let me find, let me find, let me find

Some comfort in the night
Cause I don't mind what I’ve lost
I’ve reached the shore
And nothing ever changed
In a thousand waves
A million waves
Oh still I look for love

And all I see is your face
So I come back home to you

I bleed but I’m choosing you again
I’m done but I’m ready to begin

Elisa - Almeno tu nell'Universo

Lyrics:

Italian:

Sai, la gente e' strana
Prima si odia e poi si ama
Cambia idea improvvisamente
Prima la verita, poi mentiranno senza serieta'
Come fosse niente

Sai, la gente matta
Forse troppo insoddisfatta
Segue il mondo ciecamente
Quando la moda cambia
Lei pure cambia
Continuamente, scioccamente

Tu, tu che sei diverso
Almeno tu nell'Universo
Un punto sei che non ruota mai intorno a me
Un sole che splende per me soltanto
Come un diamante in mezzo al cuore

Tu, tu che sei diverso
Almeno tu nell'universo
Non cambierai
Dimmi che per sempre sarai sincero
E che mi amerai davvero di piu' di piu' di piu'

Sai, la gente sola
Come pu lei si consola
Non far si che la mia mente
Si perda in congetture, in paure
Inutilmente e poi per niente

Tu, tu che sei diverso
Almeno tu nell'Universo
Un punto sei che non ruota mai intorno a me
Un sole che splende per me soltanto
Come un diamante in mezzo al cuore

Tu, tu che sei diverso
Almeno tu nell'universo
Non cambierai
Dimmi che per sempre sarai sincero
E che mi amerai davvero di piu' di piu' di piu'

Non cambierai
Dimmi che per sempre sarai sincero
E che mi amerai davvero, davvero di piu' di pi di pi

English:

You know, the people and strange
Before you hate, then love
Suddenly changes his mind
Before the truth, then lied without seriousness
Like nothing

You know, people are crazy
Perhaps too unhappy
The world follows blindly
When fashion changes
She also changes
Continuously, foolishly

You, you who are different
At least you in Universe
One point six that does not rotate around me ever
A sun that shines for me only
Like a diamond in the middle of the heart

You, you who are different
At least you in the universe
Do not change
Tell me that you will always sincere
And I really love more more more

You know, people only
How can you console
Do not make my mind
Gets lost in conjecture, in fear
Unnecessarily and then nothing

You, you who are different
At least you in Universe
One point six that does not rotate around me ever
A sun that shines for me only
Like a diamond in the middle of the heart

You, you who are different
At least you in the universe
Do not change
Tell me that you will always sincere
And I really love more more more devout

Do not change
Tell me that you will always sincere
And I really love, really more devout

Elisa - Heaven out of Hell

Lyrics:

So are you turning around your mind
do you think the sun won't shine this time
are you breathing only half of the air
are you giving only half of a chance
Don't you wanna shake because you love
cry because you care
feel 'cause you're alive
sleep because you're tired

make heaven, heaven out of hell now...

Are you locked up in you counting the days
oh how long until you have your freedom
just shake because you love
cry because you care
feel 'cause you're alive
sleep because you're tired
shake because you love
bleed 'cause you got hurt
die because you lived

make heaven, heaven out of hell now...

omitted from video:
[are you still turning around the same thing
are you still trying that way
are you still praying the same prayers
are you still waiting for that same day to come]

climbing the same mountain
you're not getting higher
you're running after yourself
can't let go
hiding in that place you don't wanna be
you push happiness so far away
but it comes back
to give you all that you've given before
to love you the way that you do, like a mirror
look in the air 'n catch that boomerang
can't fall anywhere else but in your own hand

and make heaven
heaven out of hell now
make heaven
heaven out of hell now...
make heaven, heaven out of hell now
make heaven
heaven out of hell now
are you still waiting
make heaven
heaven out of hell now
are you still praying
make heaven
heaven out of hell now
are you still losing
make heaven
heaven out of hell now
make heaven
heaven out of hell now
I wanna fly because
I dream
dream
dream
