Turandot Meaning & Lyrics (Marco Benevento | Marianne Mirage)
Marco Benevento mentions feathers flying high above the sky. The poet then describes holding the world in your hand. He says, ‘You’re holding the world in your hand.’ Marianne Mirage composes a beat that sounds urgent. The songwriter uses rising strings to echo, ‘Don’t cry little girl.’ She keeps tenderness in every note.
Resta per sempre tuStay just as you are forever,
Una bambina grande dagli occhi bluea grown-up girl with eyes of blue,
Perché il tempo non passi piùso that time doesn’t pass anymore.
Tieni in mano il mondoYou’re holding the world in your hand.
Sopra il cielo cieloHigh above the sky, the sky,
Piume che volanothere are feathers that are flying.
Tieni mi stretta sennò cadròHold me tight or I’m gonna fall,
Questo è il mondo di turandotthis is the world of ‘Turandot’.
Basta una domanda e non sapròOne question’s enough and I won’t know
Più chi sonowho I am anymore,
Più chi erowho I used to be anymore,
Forse è veromaybe it’s true.
Sto crescendo ioI’m growing up now,
Io quel treno prenderòI’m gonna catch that train,
Finalmente io vivròfinally I’m gonna live
Perché esistevi solo tu soltanto tu soltanto tu’cause you were the only one who existed, only you, only you.
E invece io io non sarò più qui per teBut instead I, I won’t be here for you anymore.
Resta per sempre tuStay just as you are forever,
Una bambina grande dagli occhi bluea grown-up girl with eyes of blue,
Perché il tempo non passi piùso that time doesn’t pass anymore.
Tieni in mano il mondoYou’re holding the world in your hand
Sopra il cielo cielohigh above the sky, the sky,
Più chi ero forse è verowho I was anymore, maybe it’s true,
Sto crescendo ioI’m growing up now.
Ogni addioEvery goodbye
È doloro ma necessariois painful but it’s necessary.
Non piangere bambinaDon’t cry, little girl,
Io ti voglio beneI care for you so much.
Ti amo ti amo ti amoI love you, I love you, I love you.
Non piangereDon’t cry,
Io ti amoI love you.
