Although it sounds a little as though he is singing "Me Monkey", it's a beautiful sounding song never the less (well it is when he sings it anyway), but I really don't know what he is actually singing about, so I am wondering:-
Firstly, I can't seem to find the word 'Manchi' in my Italian dictionary, so are there any Italians or Italian speakers out there who can translate the title into English?
Secondly, whilst I can only imagine that it is a romantic song, he could be singing about emptying the dustbins for all I know, so does anyone please know what the song is actually about, and is it possible to translate the lyrics into English?
It isn't important that the English lyrics fit the music. I would just like to know what story the song tells. English translation:
I Miss You
I miss you -
When the sun touches the horizon
When darkness covers the sounds
of the people,
The listlessness no longer
goes away
Like the shadow of something
that's still mine
I miss you -
In your look
In that thoughtless smile
In those excuses of yours,
You're the lump in my throat
that doesn't go away
It's you, it's you
I miss you, I miss you
I can pretend to be okay but I miss you
Now I know what I need to say -
To have you near before going to sleep
While I stand undisguised
within my soul
I miss you and I could
find another woman
but I'd be cheating myself
You're my regret without an end and
The chill of my mornings,
When I look inside myself
And know that I miss you.
Now that I can give you a little more -
It's you, it's you
I miss you and I could
have another woman
but I'd only be cheating myself,
You're my regret without an end and
The chill of my mornings,
When I look inside myself
And know that I miss you. Loosely translated, the song is about missing someone.
