Translation

Cinema Paradiso (Se)

Cinema Paradise (If)

If you were in my eyes for one day
you would see the beauty that full of happiness
I find in your eyes
and I ignore if it's magic or loyalty
 
If you were in my heart for one day
you might have an idea
of what I feel
when you squeeze me tight on you
and chest to chest, we
breath together
 
Protagonist of your love
I don't know if its magic or loyalty
 
If you were in my soul one day
you would know what I feel in me
that I'm enamoured
over those instants together with you
and what I feel is
solely love

I definitely agree that it's "magia o realta' " this makes total sense in the context of the poetry of the lyrics here. "I don't know if it's magic (magic or fantasy, the fantasy of the movie screen) or reality (this time-space reality I'm living)."

Also, Josh Groban's first language is American English, as such, his rolling of his Rs in Italian and Spanish is somewhat minimal at times, sounding more like a Spanish letter "de" or "ele" now and again. This being said, I love Josh Groban. It takes a lot of guts to take on these big Italian songs like "Se".
