Un Sorriso Dentro Al Pianto
Ornella Vanoni
A Smile Inside the Tears
And now that I should pose for yet another photograph
Can you tell me by any chance which is the best angle?
Now that with a selfie you show everything to everyone, so be it
Do we frame it?
Or do I throw it away?
Words on notes have been the best company
To face stupidity we still have joy
If the sky granted a bit of grace to every soul down here
I would be a saint
A soul that sings
Singing in balance above an emotion
That overturns people's existence
That cannot be fully explained
But remains deep in the heart
I am all the love I have given
All the unconditional love
The embarrassment behind the boasting
A smile inside the tears
I am all the love I have given
Stormy sea and starry sky
Just before a crash
A smile inside the tears
And now that you ask me to smile, I would like to forget
Wounds to lick and great loves only to desire
If the universe disappeared in an instant and there was no more
I would definitely
Remain forever
Forever in balance above an emotion
That overturns people's existence
That cannot be fully explained
But remains deep in the heart
I am all the love I have given
All the unconditional love
The embarrassment behind the boasting
A smile inside the tears
I am all the love I have given
Stormy sea and starry sky
Just before a crash
A smile inside the tears
And now that you ask me to smile, I would like to forget
