My Bitter Tale

It’s the start of a hard
Way to myself
I’m here in a rough sea
An unknown and severe sea

Where i can’t see land and
At least with her
I cannot see my chains
And old memories of mine

Listen i was just a child
When as an angel with burnt wings
I had to give up flying
No more hopes no more dreams
A north wind changed in freezing summer air
Carrying away with him sea smell
I was just a child, wasn’t i?

I didn’t feel afraid i didn’t cry
I simply wandered for
A long and unending time

But each step i made i
Was in the same place
Following a far light
The same one, forever

Listen i was just a child
When as an angel with burnt wings
I had to give up flying
No more hopes no more dreams
A north wind changed in freezing summer air
Carrying away with him sea smell
I was just a child, wasn’t i?

So listen and you’ll hear moon told me
Now open wide your eyes, look over
Around me only (the) sea was waiting
If (the) sky won’t be my way it will be the sea
Now i know
So i lost right away my feathers
And for each one of them a regret
I erased…

Listen i was just a child
When, as an angel with burnt wings,
I had to give up flying
No more hopes no more dreams
But a day drowning, coming to surface,
Looking back for the last time
I learnt to swim,
Like in a secret dream.
