Brunori Sas - L’albero delle noci (English Translation) Lyrics[Verse 1]
They have grown up so fast, the leaves on the nut tree
And now in your mother's eyes a little spark shine bright
I am, as always, a kangaroo between the past and the future
I write love songs looking for a safe space
I am like an accountant on the edge of giving or taking
I use the double-entry system even on my own heart
How can someone fall down from a sidereal distance?
[Verse 2]
They went by so fast, these ferocious years
And in this fathеr's heart of mine the dеsire is now locked
And you were so good at your final exams
Putting together the dots between my mouth and the truth
That I just can't bear all this love
Cause I know so well the dimensions of my heart
And I can navigate in the absence of a pole star
[Chorus]
I wish I could change voice
I wish I could sing without words
Without lying for my fear of hurting you
I wish I could sing you love, love
The dark that comes when the day dies
Without falling in my fear of hurting you
[Verse 3]
I was raised in a cruel land where snow mixes with honey
And the good people wear crowns made of thorns
And I have learned as a little kid the difference between blood and wine
And I just can't get used to all this happiness
Cause I know the Pharaoh's dream: the fat cows and the skinny cows
And that someone can fall from a sidereal distance
[Chorus]
I wish I could change voice
I wish I could sing without words
Without lying for my fear of hurting you
I wish I could sing you love, love
The dark that comes when the day dies
Without falling in my fear of hurting you
[Outro]
They have grown up too fast, these wonderful curls
And now I watch you while you walk holding your mother's hand
And perhaps I can bear all this happiness
Cause you have changed the archicteture and the proportions of my heart
And now I can navigate under a new pole star
