Paroles et traduction Eugenio Bennato - Canzone per beirut

Canzone per beirut

Cade dal cielo una pioggia scura
Passa l'aereo che porta la paura
Passa l'aereo che spara sulla terra
Ma il suo rumore non copre la chitarra
Can't stop stars from shining
Or Beirut from rising
Non c'è più niente
Dove c'era il ponte
Can't stop stars from shining
Or Beirut from rising
Nessun colore
Dove c'era il mare
Spiaggia deserta, gioca una bambina
Ma il suo pupazzo può essere una mina
Ma nel suo sguardo grande come il mare
C'è tutta Beirut che si vuol rialzare
Can't stop stars from shining
Or Beirut from rising
Passa la guerra
Col suo squallore
Can't stop stars from shining
Or Beirut from rising
La guerra passa
Beirut non muore
Passa la pioggia innaturale
Can't stop stars from shining
Or Beirut from rising
Beirut ritorna a scintillare

Song for Beirut

Dark rain falls from the sky
A plane flies by, bringing fear
A plane flies by, shooting at the earth
But its noise doesn't drown out the guitar
Can't stop stars from shining
Or Beirut from rising
There is nothing left
Where the bridge used to be
Can't stop stars from shining
Or Beirut from rising
No more color
Where the sea used to be
Deserted beach, a little girl plays
But her doll could be a land mine
But in her eyes, as big as the sea
There is all of Beirut wanting to rise again
Can't stop stars from shining
Or Beirut from rising
The war passes by
With its squalor
Can't stop stars from shining
Or Beirut from rising
The war passes by
Beirut will not die
The unnatural rain passes by
Can't stop stars from shining
Or Beirut from rising
Beirut returns to sparkle
