Dall'Altra Parte Del Mare

from Prima Che Tutto Bruci by Øjne

lyrics

"Oggi in macchina abbiamo preso un sentiero in campagna.
L'aria era di quel bianco luminoso che c'è spesso anche a Milano.
C'erano ancora i segni delle mitragliatrici sui muri delle case,
non pensavo esistessero ancora queste cose.
Sono già cinque giorni e siamo più a sud di quanto non siamo mai stati insieme.
Ti ricordi com'era guardare l'Italia dall'altra parte del mare?

Arrivando qui abbiamo incontrato una ciminiera in riva al mare,
era alta quanto un minareto.
Ti ricordi di Istanbul?
Chissà quando potremo tornarci?
Oggi mi sono spaventata a morte,
avrei voluto fossi con me.

Tra pochi giorni sarò di ritorno.
Non ho capito perché non me ne hai voluto parlare.
Non vedo l'ora di essere a casa, voglio sapere cosa avessi da dirmi;
cosa ti faceva tremare le mani
quando mi hai salutato."

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SEA

“Today, while driving, we took a country lane.
The air was full of that luminescent white that we often see in Milan.
There were still the signs of machine guns on the walls of the houses,
I didn’t know these things still existed.
It’s been just five days and we’re already a lot further South than we’ve ever been together.
Do you remember what was it like to look at Italy from the other side of the sea?

While we were getting here we passed a chimney by the sea,
it was as tall as a minaret.
Do you remember Istanbul?
I wonder when will we be able to go there again.
I was so scared today,
I wish you were there with me.

I will come back in a few days.
I don’t understand why you didn’t want to tell me about it.
I can’t wait to be home, I wanna know what you wanted to tell me;
what made your hands tremble
when you said goodbye.”
