“Hai Delle Isole Negli Occhi” from the album L’amore È Una Cosa Semplice
There’s not much to say about this smooth and relaxing song. In this video he calls it a “declaration of love… profound and very direct.” So it’s obvious what (or should I say who) inspired it! Here’s a tiny diary entry where he mentions its creation.
April 25th 2011
Easter Sunday. It hadn’t happened since 2000, with Non me lo so spiegare, but I wrote a song on this not so ordinary day.
It took me exactly an hour to start and finish it. It’s called Hai delle isole negli occhi… and I want it to open the album.English translation of “Hai Delle Isole Negli Occhi”:
“There Are Islands In Your Eyes”
I hate so many things since I know you
And I don’t even know the reason, but my guess is that
I hate… my name alone without yours, every damn farewell
I hate when you hate yourself and push me away because
There are islands in your eyes
And the deepest sorrow
Rests for at least an hour just by meeting you
And I l-o-v-e you, and with my hands I say what I can’t
And you love me
Concise plot of a memorable day
Everything is perfect, everything resembles you
And a year goes by, so very beautiful
Beautiful as it is
You’re stronger than every lie and if people hurt you
It’s because you’re better and they know it well
Your shyness doesn’t condemn you but it raises you above
Those who hate, those who hurt and deceive because…
There are islands in your eyes
And the deepest sorrow
Rests for at least an hour just by meeting you
And I l-o-v-e you, and with my hands I say what I can’t
And you love me
Concise plot of a memorable day
Everything is perfect, everything resembles you
And a year goes by, so very beautiful
Beautiful as it is
I don’t lie, I don’t care what they say
In silence I watch the souls passing by
And you’re the most special among these souls
Because you smile even when chased by sorrow
And I l-o-v-e you
Even though you suffer and then pretend it doesn’t show
When you wish your smile would invert
The chaotic mindset that rules over the masses
And you love me
You say that only good people exist
The bad ones are just lonely
And maybe it is like that
There are islands in your eyes
And the deepest sorrow
Rests for at least an hour just by meeting you
And I l-o-v-e you, and with my hands I say what I can’t
And you love me
Concise plot of a memorable day
There are islands in your eyes
And the deepest sorrow
Rests for at least an hour just by meeting you
And I l-o-v-e you, and with my hands I say what I can’t
And you love me
Concise plot of a memorable day
There are islands in your eyes
And the deepest sorrow
Rests for at least an hour just by meeting you
