Mi Parli Piano
Emma Marrone
Speak Softly to Me
Happiness is a simple idea
In front of your eyes
Between the air you breathe
And the one you
Rarely hold
We already have a past
That truthfully
Resembles more of a conflict
The heart often hurt
By a finger that
You pointed at my chest
If the eyes can't
Tell you what you see
I'll try to tell you
Because you don't believe the evidence
It's been too long since you speak softly to me
Too many years that we've known each other
We could have built a whole palace
Instead, a wall divides us
It's been too long since you speak softly to me
Or are you a distant memory
Is it love or just an obsession
It's a hot wind
Too hot that you die
It's hot that you die
I play at making war because
Love has never given me respite
But if I have you in front of me
Once again
In doubt, I'll do the right thing
If the eyes can't
Tell you my thoughts
I'll try to describe them
All of them, even the darkest ones
It's been too long since you speak softly to me
Too many years that we've known each other
We could have built a whole palace
Instead, a wall divides us
It's been too long since you speak softly to me
Or are you a distant memory
Is it love or just an obsession
It's a hot wind
Too hot that you die
It's hot that you die
We are here
Between an uncertain step and the utopia
Of a rediscovered balance
We are here
On a parallel path
We touch without ever meeting
If the eyes can't
Tell you what you see
I'll try to tell you
Because you don't believe the evidence
It's been too long since you speak softly to me
Too many years that we confuse each other
We could have built a whole palace
Instead, a wall divides us
It's been too long since you speak softly to me
Or are you a distant memory
Is it love or just an obsession
It's a hot wind
Too hot that you die
It's hot that you die
Be careful, you might die
