Lyrics

Non mi toccare
vuoi farmi morire
sapessi ieri come ero lontano, lontano
ho bisogno di dormire
ma che voglia di te lassù credevo di impazzire
in mezzo al cielo tra miliardi e miliardi di stelle
ero solo da morire
così ho acceso la radio
tra gli auguri
ma come gli auguri
si sentiva cantare
e io lì solo, ci pensi, da solo
a guardare le stelle, le stelle
ma che andassero a cagare
così ho capito che tra poco è Natale
e che ero lì come uno scemo
e che dovevo tornare
Perchè spegni la luce
vuoi far finta di dormire
so che ti piace se ti guardo
se ti parlo magari sorridi
mentre fai finta di dormire
va bene
allora ascoltami un pò
lo sai che prima di partire
mi son sentito gelare le mani
guardando di fuori
non hai l’idea che confusione
a un certo momento le stelle del cielo si son messe a girare
e hanno fatto una strada d’argento
che i miei occhi non potevano guardare
sono stati i pastori i primi a passare
seguiti dai re magi sui loro elefanti
mentre gli angeli cominciavano a cantare
ma non è niente, una cosa da niente
se penso a una casa col sole in cima alla collina
e che tra poco, tra poco è mattina
tra un’ora ti svegli, mi guardi sorridi
Buon Natale
(Grazie a Stefano per questo testo)

Lyrics translation

Don't touch me
you want me to die
I knew yesterday how far, far away I was
I need to sleep
I thought I was going crazy.
in the middle of the sky between billions and billions of stars
I was just dying.
so I turned on the radio
among the wishes
but as the wishes
you could hear him sing
and I'm there alone, think about it, alone
looking at the stars, the stars
but that they shit
so I realized it's Christmas coming up
and that I was there like a fool
and that I had to come back
Why turn off the light
do you want to pretend to sleep
I know you like it if I look at you
if I talk to you maybe smile
while you pretend to sleep
That's okay
then listen to me.
you know that before you go
I felt my hands freeze
looking outside
you have no idea that confusion
at a certain moment the stars of the sky began to spin
and they made a silver road
that my eyes could not look
were the shepherds the first to pass
followed by the magi on their elephants
as the Angels began to sing
but it's nothing, it's nothing
if I think of a house with the sun on top of the hill
and that soon, soon it's morning
in an hour you wake up, look at me smile
Merry Christmas
