To the Lighthouse/Al faro

TO THE LIGHTHOUSE         AL FARO

No darkness                             Nessuna oscurità
Will ever be                             Sarà mai
Deep enough                           Profonda abbastanza
To hide you                             Per nasconderti
From me                                  Da me
From the eye                           Dall'occhio
Of the lighthouse                    Del faro
Out of the blue                        Fuori dal blue
And into the black                  E nel nero
You slipped                             Scivolasti via
You sailed away                      Veleggiasti
Leaving the shore                    Lasciandoti la spiaggia
Behind                                     Alle spalle
But you left                             Ma dimenticasti
Your compass                         La bussola
Your sextant                            Il sestante
And maps                                Le tue mappe
Your starfish                            Una stella marina
And seashells                          E delle conchiglie
On my bedroom floor             Sul pavimento della camera
So you must come back          Dunque dovrai tornare
Someday you will                   Un giorno lo farai
I know                                     Lo so
And I will keep                       Ed io terrò
My searchlight on                   La luce accesa
Until the day I see                   Fino al giorno in cui vedrò
The familiar shape                  La forma conosciuta
Of your boat                            Della tua barca
In the distance                         All'orizzonte
Coming home                         Tornare a casa
Coming back                           Tornare
To the lighthouse                     Al faro

Not a Note/Non una nota

 NOT A NOTE                                    NON UNA NOTA 

Not a note                                        Non una nota

How rude of you                            Gentile da parte tua

Not a single note                            Non una sola nota

A post-it                                           Un post-it

By post, it                                         Per posta,

Would have done                          Sarebbe

The job                                             Stato sufficiente

But no no no                                   Ma no no no

Not a note                                        Non una nota

Not even a word                            Né una parola

A chord                                             Un accordo

A curse                                             Una maledizione

A sigh                                                Un sospiro

A whisper                                        Un sussurro

You left                                             Andasti via

The tails of your                            L’orlo del tuo

Rugged rubber raincoat             Ruvido impermeabile di gomma

Angrily flapping                            Che svolazza nervoso

In the wind                                     Nel vento

Waving goodbye                           Ondeggiando un addio

On your behalf                               Al posto tuo

And that was it                              Tutto lì

The last time I saw                       L’ultima volta che vidi

Your back                                        La tua schiena

And I never saw                            E non ti vidi

You back                                          Mai più

So I picked up my phone            Così, presi lo smartphone

Found your fucking face             Trovai la tua fottuta faccia

Still smiling at me                         Che ancora mi sorrideva

From my contact list                    Dalla mia lista dei contatti

And deleted it                                 E la cancellai

Wiped it away                                La eliminai

From my memory                         Dalla memoria

Together with the memories     Insieme ai ricordi

Of our shared past                         Del nostro comune passato
