Original Lyrics
Translation in Italian
intro
I pictured a rainbow
Ho disegnato un arcobaleno
verse
You held it in your hands
Che avevi nelle tue mani
I had flashes
Io avevo i flash
verse
But you saw then plan
Ma tu vedevi tutto il piano
I wandered out in the world for years
Ho chiesto a tutto il mondo per anni
verse
While you just stayed in your room
Mentre tu stavi nella tua stanza
I saw the crescent
Vedevo il lato crescente
You saw the whole of the moon
Hai visto tutta la luna
The whole of the moon
Tutta la luna
chorus
You were there in the turnstiles
Eri lì nei tornelli
With the wind at your heels
Con il vento alle calcagna
You stretched for the stars
Ti allungavi verso le stelle
And you know how it feels
E tu sai cosa si prova
To reach too high
Arrivare così in alto
Too far
Troppo lontano
Too soon
Troppo veloce
You saw the whole of the moon
Hai visto tutta la luna
verse
I was grounded
Ero a terra
While you filled the skies
Mentre tu riempivi il cielo
I was dumb-founded by truths
Ero stupito dalle verità
You cut through lies
Che tu tagliavi con le bugie
chorus
I saw the rain, dirty valley
Ho visto la pioggia, valle sporca
chorus
You saw Brigadoon
Tu vedevi Brugadoon
I saw the crescent
Vedevo il lato crescente
You saw the whole of the moon
Hai visto tutta la luna
verse
I spoke about wings
Io parlavo delle ali
verse
You just flew
Tu semplicemente volavi
I wondered, I guessed, and I tried
Io domandavo, cercavo, tentavo
verse
You just knew
Tu semplicemente sapevi
I sighed
Sospirai
verse
But you swooned
Ma sei svenuto
I saw the crescent
Vedevo il lato crescente
verse
You saw the whole of the moon
Hai visto tutta la luna
The whole of the moon
Tutta la luna
verse
With a torch in your pocket
Con una torcia in tasca
And the wind at your heels
E il vento alle calcagna
You climbed on the ladder
Sei salito sulla scala
And you know how it feels
E tu sai cosa si prova
chorus
To get too high
Per diventare troppo alto
Too far
Troppo lontano
Too soon
Troppo veloce
You saw the whole of the moon
Hai visto tutta la luna
The whole of the moon
Tutta la luna
verse
Hey yeah
Hey sì!
Unicorns and cannonballs
Unicorni e palle di cannond
Palaces and piers
Palazzi e moli,
Trumpets, towers, and tenements
Trombe, torri e appartamenti,
Wide oceans full of tears
Ampi oceani pieni di lacrime,
Flags, rags, ferry boats
Bandiere, stracci, traghetti
Scimitars and scarves
Scimitarre e sciarpe,
Every precious dream and vision
Ogni prezioso sogno e visione
Underneath the stars
Sotto le stelle
chorus
Yes, you climbed on the ladder
Sì, sei salito sulla scala
With the wind in your sails
Con il vento nelle tue vele
You came like a comet
Venivi come una cometa
Blazing your trail
Sfolgorando le tue tracce
Too high
Troppo alto
Too far
Troppo lontano
Too soon
Troppo veloce
You saw the whole of the moon
Hai visto tutta la luna
