Sing along to 'Specchio (Mirror On The Wall)': Lyrics
Italian
Mente, lo specchio mente, sporca, rotta, bugiarda lente
Fende, lo specchio offende davanti agli occhi tira le tende
Scende, lo specchio scende dietro i pensieri, sotto la pelle
Ride, lo specchio ride dei miei affetti, dei miei insuccessi
Ride, lo specchio ride dei miei difetti dei miei complessi
Spire, tra le sue spire cadono a fondo le mie incertezze
Io sono qui senza filtri e senza inganni
Sono così oltre il velo dei miei sguardi
C’è un universo dentro di me
Io sono qui, qui davanti a te
Specchio, specchio delle mie brame amami, abbracciami, accettami
Specchio, specchio delle mie fiabe amami, stimami, rispettami
Specchio, specchio delle mie tare dimmi la verità Io sono qui senza filtri e senza inganni
Sono così oltre il muro dei miei sguardi
Cerca il riflesso dentro di me
And you will never lie me again
Io sono qui, qui davanti a te
Via le maschere dagli occhi, via dall’anima
Il mio cuore, la mia essenza custodirà
I just want to be the real me, everyday and you will be and you will be a memory
Io sono qui senza trucco e senza inganni
Sono così oltre il velo dei miei sguardi
Guarda il riflesso dentro di me
And you will never lie to me again
Io sono qui, qui davanti a te
English translation
It lies, the mirror lies, dirty, broken, deceitful lens
It cuts trough, the mirror offends, it draws curtains in front of the eyes
It descends, the mirror descends behind thoughts, under the skin
It laughs, the mirror laughs at my affections, at my setbacks
It laughs, the mirror laughs at my flaws, at my complexes
Coils, among its coils my uncertainties fall deeply
I am here without any filter and without any deception
I am like this beyond the veil of my glances,
There is a universe in me
I am here, here in front of you
Mirror, mirror of my desires love me, hug me, accept me
Mirror, mirror of my fairy tale, appraise me, respect me
Mirror, mirror of my shortcomings, tell me the truth
I am here without any filter and without any deception
I am like this beyond the wall of my glances
Look for the reflex inside me and you will never lie me again
I am here, here in front of you
Masks off from the eyes, off from the soul
My heart, my essence will treasure
I just want to be the real me, everyday and you will be and you will be a memory
I am here without any filter and without any deception
I am like this beyond the veil of my glances
Look for the reflex inside me and you will never lie to me again
I am here, here in front of you
