The Destination Of My Trip
We woke up with your kisses
You were sleeping while Silvia1 and I
Went to that school
Where you told us 'You go there to learn'
And you taught us how to live
More and more as the days passed
With your eyes full of this love
For two daughters crazy because of an illusion
I would do anything
So time wouldn't pass, no
I learn to sing because of you, I know it
In the summer nights in the coffeehouses
I acquired my bravery
And I found the road and the joy
Of your strength and of your melancholy
Of your image, of your moment
I never saw you during the Holidays
We always spent them with mommy
Your work took you somewhere far for a day
And your loneliness became mine
I would do anything
To give you back the time that passed...
I learned how to give myself like you
Risking everything and more
I learned your courage
And I understood your usual ways
That now for me are your greatest virtue
Now, the destination of my trip is you
And that's how it is
I'm like you
Always something more
Each smile and each tear
I inherited your courage
And I learned to know in who should I trust
I go on in life without ever doubting
My road, in this trip, for you
By your side, uh
I acquired my bravery
I wake up at home every day
I think of when you weren't around yesterday
And also of what I could do
To give you back the time that passed
- 1. Laura Pausini's sister.

Author's comments:
The song's Spanish title could be translated as "The goal of my trip", but I thought this wouldn't be a nice choice of words to translate this beautiful song. In these lyrics, Laura Pausini talks about her father. I guess she wanted to say that when she grows older, she wants to be like (or/and with) him. That's why I translated it as 'The destination of my trip'.
