Il Mare E La Luna

Gianluca Capozzi

The Sea and The Moon

That day the sea was already sleeping
belly up for comfort
and an island for a pillow
the light woke him up halfway
but it wasn't yet day
it was night, there was the Moon
he raised his eyes and looked at her
more beautiful than anything he had seen
lost, he fell in love with her
and his song began...

you don't see me, I'm down here
a slave to your indifference
caught in a trap of hope

How much I love you, you'll never know
maybe you'll never understand
while your rain will fall from my eyes
How much I love you, you can't know
you who have no glances for me
that I come back to life every time I die for you...

The sea was unhappy and so
his sight remained there
prisoner of cliffs and shores
a storm did not help him
with the waves he understood later
he wouldn't even touch her
and then he ran towards the horizon
closer to the sky but it was useless
sadly, he resigned himself
and his song continued...

How much I love you, you'll never know
maybe you'll never understand
beautiful as you are, but how much you hurt me
How much I love you, you can't know
you who have no glances for me
immobile spectator of your movements
you don't see me, I'm down here
a slave to your indifference
caught in a trap of hope
How much I love you, you'll never know
maybe you'll never understand
while your rain will fall from my eyes
How much I love you, you can't know
you who have no glances for me
that I come back to life every time I die for you...
