La Casa Azul
Marco Mengoni
The Blue House
The world is on the tip of my fingers
Closed between a bed, a mirror, and a fleeting joy
What have you painted for me, little one?
I've silently mixed color and tears
And it's a drawing that's already blending
The shadow of a sign that hides me but
I feel the night kissing my feet
Even if you don't see it, if you knew the noise it makes
Love hate fight long live life!
Out there Mexico was screaming blasphemies and fables
Inside the dust, the blood of the bullfight
The bull shakes the sword off his shoulders
Rose of the soul closed in armor
Like someone alone who smiles out of fear
Can beauty drag us away
If art is a lie that tells the truth?
I've drawn a love that seems real
A puddle deluded to be the sky
And a fine tear that can't be seen
A necklace of thorns, the road made together
And my back burning the blue house
The flesh, the blood, the veins of my war
And deserting the path closed in my hand
Trying another destiny that goes further
And on each canvas a trace of my fingers
In my mouth words that are not spoken
Along the back, the sweat of the climb
Would you have said such a ridiculous destiny?
Like a star that shines already extinguished, how much beauty comes and goes
I feel the night touching my feet
Even if you don't see it, if you're silent, you feel it
Shh-
Here's the noise it makes
I've drawn a love that seems real
A puddle deluded to be the sky
And a fine tear that can't be seen
A necklace of thorns, the road made together
The flowers, the absent son
The red bed, the skull in front, the luck, bride
The broken dream
The beautiful girl and my destiny
Death
The flowers, the absent son
The red bed, the skull in front, the luck, bride
The broken dream
The beautiful girl and my destiny
Death
I've drawn a love that seems real
A puddle deluded to be the sky
And a fine tear that can't be seen
A necklace of thorns, the road made together
And my back burning the blue house
The flesh, the blood, the veins of my war
And deserting the path closed in my hand
Trying another destiny that goes further
The flowers, the absent son
The red bed, the skull in front, the luck, bride
The broken dream
The beautiful girl and my destiny
Death
The flowers, the absent son
The red bed, the skull in front, the luck, bride
The broken dream
The beautiful girl and my destiny
Death
