Jovanotti - Stella cometa (English translation)

#1#2

Shooting Star

I think of you before falling asleep

Looking at the sun which makes space for nightfall

In this land away from home

Away from you, who is my home

Wherever you are, you're my soul

You're a field of melancholy

When I'm not with you;

You're a field of the sweetest fruits

When you're here with me

Farmer of the heart

My joy costs me sweat (hard work)

I love you, and I flee far away

The measure of my love is the planet

Each trip away from you, you're the destination

I, a wise man; you, a shooting star

I need to distance myself from you

To see the whole you

I have to pretend that you're not here

To discover that you're real

This evening, the lady of the hotel cooked potatoes the same way you do;

Roasted, crunchy on the outside and soft in the heart

Just the way you make them, just the way you are

Eating them, I was eating you, like a communion

And I ran away because

I couldn't breathe from too much love

Love, love, love, love...

This word seen from far away

Makes me feel like a pilgrim, a repentant, a dimwit

I love you, an I flee far away

The measure of my love is the planet

Each trip away from you, you're the destination

I, a wise man; you, a shooting star
