Me and Emiliana Torrini

Let's stay awake and listen to the dark.
Before the birds, before they all wake up.
It's the ending of a play and soon begins another.
Hear the leaves applaud the wind.

See the sun come rising and white-wings start to fly.
Like strings of pearls in the firey sky.
I don't want to close my eyes, don't want to leave the stage now,
As the leaves applaud our stay.

Lend me yours wings and teach me how to fly.
Show me when it rains, the place you go to hide.
And the curtains draw again and bow - another day ends.
The leaves applaud the wind.

Uccelli

E' la fine di un gioco e comincia subito un altro
Ascoltate le foglie applaudire il vento

Vedere il sole sorgere e venire ali bianche cominciano a volare
Come fili di perle nel cielo di fuoco

Non voglio chiudere gli occhi
Non voglio lasciare il palco ora
Come le foglie applaudire il nostro soggiorno

Prestami le tue ali e insegnarmi a volare
Show me quando piove, il posto si va a nascondere

E le tende disegnare di nuovo e di prua - un altro giorno finisce
Le foglie applaudire il vento
