I listen to a lot of Spanish music…much more often than Italian music (my background/ethnicity is Italian). Today though, I was sent a link to this song by my friend Vanessa, who is Portugese (ha) and thought it was beautiful…Especially after I looked up the lyrics.
Might be a little corny/cheesey to some…but it’s lulling me to sleep right now. Makes me think that as we grow older, it becomes less about the chase, and more about receiving the love you deserve. Time is wasted as you wait around for that [wrong] person to become something he/she can and will never be. Accept love that is full, unconditional, honest and real…Don’t settle for anything less. You’ll know it’s real if throughout any hardship, that person is still by your side unwavering in their loyalty and admiration for you.
Solo per te
convinco le stelle
a disegnare nel cielo infinito
qualcosa che somiglia a tesolo per te
io cambierò pelle
per non sentir le stagioni passare
senza di tecome la neve non sa
coprire tutta la cittàcome la notte
non faccio rumore
se cado è per te
My rough translation (Italian was my first language but I sadly lost my touch):
Only for you, I will convince the stars in the infinite sky to design something that resembles you. Only for you, I will change my skin so I won’t feel the seasons changing without you. Just like the snow, I will cover the whole city. Just like the night, I won’t make a sound, if/when I fall for you…
