La Prima Stella
Gigi D'Alessio
The First Star
If I could have wings and soar the sky
Fly beyond the universe
And reach where nothing is the same
I would like you to see my face how it has changed
Some wrinkles have scratched me
As you see the years go by
But I haven't closed my heart
I can still love
I have a thousand dreams still to chase
And the most beautiful one I know who to give
The lost time to return
To those who must forgive me one day
I wish your eyes in mine
To look together
At everything that you may not have seen
You know how many times I
I called for your help
And I even implored God
Who I have always felt mine
How many times I have looked for you
And talked to you
And hoped while looking up
That the first star lit up
Would be you
Now a flower blooms even without the sun
A child can come
Even without making love
Who is ready to die
Doesn't have the cross on the wall
That there is a door open above the sea
For those who seek to escape wars
From the old evil we can save ourselves
And I could have seen you age too
I hear your voice
But it's in my mind
What I can only do
Is caress a photograph
How many times I have looked for you
And talked to you
And hoped
While looking up
That the first star lit up
Would be you
