Translation

Vietato morire

Forbidden to die

I remember those eyes full of life
And your smile wounded by punches
I remember the night with few lights
But at least there weren't wolves out there
 
I remember the first day of school:
29 children and the teacher named Margherita
All together they asked to me
Why I had a black eye
 
Your necklace with the magic stone
I held it tight to take you away from there
And fear crumbled thoughts
The others dealt with bones
 
And the effort you had to make
From a book of hate to teaching me love
You stopped dreaming to make me dream
Now your words are a song
 
Change your stars, if you try you'll succeed
And remember that love never hits in the face
My son, remember, the man you will become
Will never be bigger that the love you give
 
I didn't forget the moment
In which I grew
To protect you from those hands
Even though I wore shorts
 
Your necklace with the magic stone
I held it tight to take you away from there
But the magic was over
The only one thing left to do was biting life
 
Change your stars, if you try you'll succeed
And remember that love never hits in the face
My son, remember, the man you will become
Will never be bigger that the love you give
 
You know that a wound heals
and you can't see it inside
What did you expect
it's not late to start over
Choose a different path
and remember that love is not violence
Remember to disobey
and remember that it's forbidden to die,
forbidden to die
 
Change your stars, if you try you'll succeed
And remember that love never shoots you in the face
My son, remember very well the life you'll have
Will never be far from the love you give
 
Remember to disobey
Because it's forbidden to die
 
Remember to disobey
Because it's forbidden to die
Because it's forbidden to die
It's forbidden to die

Hi, I've just restructured the original lyrics, so make sure you do the same with your translation. :)
