Ti penso - I think of you

 I think of you 

and an eternal melody 

echoes in my heart.

Cristiano Bartolomei

Ti penso

e una musica eterna

mi risuona nel cuore.

Cristiano Bartolomei 

Senza te - Without you

 

On this dark night without you,

the stars lie asleep, watching me,

as if they were your eyes

staring wide open at me.

Yet I feel deep within my heart

that a flower is blooming,

and it is an eternal spring

that speaks to me of you.

My love, forgive me if I can no longer speak—

how vast is this sea

that carries you away from me

Cristiano Bartolomei 

Note infinite

 

How strange,

you carved my heart of eternal stone

with a single caress;

you shaped it

like a slender blade

that divides the soul,

between life and death.

Cristiano Bartolomei 

Che strano,

hai scolpito il mio cuore di roccia perenne

con una sola carezza;

l'hai forgiata

come una lama sottile

che divide l'anima,

tra la vita e la morte.

Cristiano Bartolomei 

Nel cielo e nel mare

You said “sea,”

I heard “sky.”

And so we got lost,

together,

in the sky and the sea.
