Verita ("Truth")
Written by Richard Page, Per Magnusson, and David Krueger (Italian adaptation by Marco Marinangeli)


Why do avoid the truth
That nothing lasts forever
We hide and then
We deny
Because we are not together

I love the truth
That heals me
That cleans my spirit as the rain washes away
I love the truth
Even if it hurts for me to let go
To go I want only a little of the truth

What will be of this love that
It fears if it's lost
That love is
We are trapped
I don't want this anymore

I love the truth
That heals me
That cleans my spirit as the rain washes away
I love the truth
Even if it hurts for me to let go
To go I want only a little of the truth

Don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye
The heart guides you

I love the truth
That heals me
That cleans my spirit as the rain washes away
I love the truth
Even if it hurts to leave
To go I want only a little of the truth

[Italian]

Perche' evitiamo quella verita'
Che niente dura per sempre
Ci nascondiamo e poi
Neghiamo noi
Percio' non siamo insieme

Amo la verite'
Che mi rimargina
Che mi pulisce l'anima come la pioggia lava via
amo la verita'
Anche se fa male lasciarsi
Andare voglio solo un po'di verita'

Che ci sara' in questo amore che
Fa paura se si merde
Che amore e' se poi
Ci intrappoliamo
Questo non lo voglio piu'

Amo la verita'
Che mi rimargina
Che mi pulisce l'anima come la pioggia lava via
Amo la verita'
Anche se fa male lasciarsi
Andare voglio verita'

Non dire addio
Non dire addio
Il cuore ti guidera'.

Amo la verita'
Che mi rimagina
Che mi pulisce l'anima come la pioggia lava via
Amo la verita', Anche se fa male lasciarsi
Andare voglio solo un po' di verite'.

Josh Groban "MAI" from Awake

This is a beautiful tune and very different...






MAI

Non ce cosa
Piu illusoria dell'amore
Non credi mai che
Possa capitare a te
Di ritrovarti
Sopra un filo di speranza
Per poi crollare
Dentro questa oscurita

Mai...... credero
Mai...... ci cadro
In queste false emozioni
Dove non c e pieta

Mai cerchero
La verita dentro un sogno
Il nostro sogno

Solo adesso
Sembri cosi preoccupata
Si driebe
Che ora soffri piu di me
Ma non e vero
Non mi hai nemmeno amato
Altrimenti
Non andresti via cosi

Mai credero
Mai ci cadro
In questo false emozioni
Dove non c e pietaMai cerchero
La verita dentro un sogno
Ma quale sogno!

Translation
MAI (NEVER)

Don't look at me
Don't try to explain
I knew it
That it would have ended sooner or later
And just yesterday
you were telling me "I love you so much"
But it was just
a state of agony

There is no thing
more illusory than love
You never think that
it can happen to you
to find yourself
above a yarn of hope
to collapse then
inside this darkness

Never... I'll believe
Never... I will fall
Into these fake emotions
where there is no compassion

Never... I will search for
the truth inside a dream
Our dream

Just now
You seem so concerned
I would say
that now you're suffering more than me
but that's not true
you didn't even love me
otherwise
you won't be going away like this

Never... I'll believe
Never... I will fall
Into these fake emotions
where there is no compassion

Never I will search for
the truth inside a dream
but what dream!

For Full Screen View

Un Giorno per Noi

Un giorno sai, per noi verrá
la libertá di amarci qui senza limiti.
E fiorirá il sogno a noi negato
si svelerá l'amor ce l’ha t’ormai.

Un giorno sai, per vivere
la vita che ci sfugge qui,
Un giorno sai, per vivere
la vita che ci sfugge qui.

L’amore noi supererá
Io stacco lí delle mare delle persita
E ci stará anche per noi nel mondo
Un tempo in cui l’amore vincerá
Un tempo in cui l’amore vincerá”

Translation

A time for us, some day there'll be
When chains are torn by courage born of a love that's free
A time when dreams so long denied can flourish
As we unveil the love we now must hide
A time for us, at last to see
A life worthwhile for you and me

And with our love, through tears and thorns
We will endure as we pass surely through every storm
A time for us, some day there'll be a new world
A world of shining hope for you and me

For you and me

And with our love, through tears and thorns
We will endure as we pass surely through every storm
A time for us, some day there'll be a new world
A world of shining hope for you and me

A world of shining hope for you and me
