In Viaggio
Fiorella Mannoia
On a Journey
Tomorrow you will leave
I can't accompany you
You will be alone on the journey
I can't come
Time will be long
And your path uncertain
The warmth of my love
Will be your blanket
I feared this day
It came so fast
And now you have to go
Life doesn't wait
I look at my hands
Now that we are alone
I have nothing else to offer you
Just my words
Claim the right to be happy
Don't listen to people
They don't know what they're saying
And don't be afraid
But don't trust
If the game is too easy
You'll have something to pay
And I will think of you in silence
In summer nights,
At sunset
When the world darkens
The silent hour of the fairies
And I will speak to my heart, louder
So you can hear it
This is our agreement
Before leaving
Before leaving
Tomorrow... Don't look back
Love your land
Don't betray it
Don't mind the insults
Let them say
Remember that humility
Opens all doors
And that knowledge
Will make you stronger
You know that honesty
Is not an old concept
Never be ashamed
When you look in the mirror
Don't call for help in stormy nights
And don't submit, hold your head high
Love, your land
Love, don't betray it
Don't hold back joy
Don't hold it between your fingers
Remember that irony will save your life
It will save you...
And I will think of you in silence
In summer nights,
At sunset
That silent hour of the fairies
And I will speak to my heart
Because, tomorrow you will leave
In silence
But on a summer night
I will come to find you
I will come to talk to you
And I will shout to my heart
So... you can hear it
Yes, you can hear it
You can hear it...
