AMORE CIECO English Translation Lyrics by Night Skinny
I even thought of a child running with your legs
Calling you “Daddy” while jumping into your arms
I realized it was love that could be nothing else
I wrote you a song, and then another, and then another
And I didn’t want to just exist for you
But to be your reason for living
I was looking for a substitute for what I had missed when I was a child
You weren’t just a way to escape reality
Nor a man like any other to run away from home with
But you were someone else’s way, someone else’s world
You’re the man of another who’s already running away with her
I wanted to shine, to be your moon among the lights
A living lamp to which I could fly
But to do that, I became the most blinding lighthouse
Your ship was almost sinking; I’m sorry
As little as I fall in love, I erase you even less
Tear off your clothes and give me what I asked for
As little as I obsess, I freeze you even less
Tear away your eyes and give me a blind love
I wanted to take you offshore to make you drown better
To see your eyes fill in my ocean
I believe in love only if it’s blind pain
And I wanted you to skin me alive to keep me warm
And you asked me why your comfort wasn’t enough
I’ve always demanded more colors from the sunset
I wanted you to give up your life for me
I know that if you had done it, I would have left you alone
When I’m no longer afraid of being nobody, maybe
I’ll be truly free to love you as I can
And my arms will hold your body with less fervor
Because I’ll care for you, not need you
And I don’t want to just exist for you
But to be your reason for living
In you, I’m not looking for a substitute for what I missed when I was a child, you know
As little as I fall in love, I erase you even less
Tear off your clothes and give me what I asked for
As little as I obsess, I freeze you even less
Tear away your eyes and give me a blind love
