L'albero Delle Noci

The leaves on the walnut tree grew fast
And in your mom's eyes now shines a little flame
I, as always, bounce between the past and the future
Writing love songs in search of a safe harbor
And like an accountant balancing the books
I make double entries even with my heart

How can you fall so low
From such a far distance
These fierce years have flown by
And in my father's heart, the desire is now locked away
And you did amazing on your graduation exam
Connecting the dots between my mouth and the truth

That all this love I can't bear
'Cause I know all too well the size of my heart
And I can navigate even without a North Star
I wish I could change my voice
I wish I could sing without words
Without lying
For fear of making you suffer

I want to sing you love, love
The darkness that comes on the day that dies
Without falling
Into the fear of hurting you

I grew up in a cruel land where snow mixes with honey
And good people wear crowns of thorns
And I learned from a young age the difference between blood and wine
And that a life can be broken for a piece of meat or bread
And I can't get used to all this happiness
'Cause I know the dream of the pharaoh
The fat cows and the skinny cows
And that you can fall from a far distance

I wish I could change my voice
I wish I could sing without words
Without lying
For fear of making you suffer

I want to sing you love, love
The night that comes on the day that dies
Without falling
Into the fear of hurting you

These wonderful curls grew too fast
And now I see you walking hand in hand with your mother
And maybe I can handle all this happiness
'Cause you've changed the architecture and proportions of my heart
And I can navigate under a new North Star
