Nuvole e Lenzuola Lyrics

(Italian)
Ore che
Lente e inesorabili
Attraversano il silenzio
Del mio cielo
Per poi nascondersi
Ad un tratto
Dietro nuvole
Che straziano il sereno
Sentirle riaffiorare
Quando tutto
Sembra aver trovato il giusto peso
Aver la voglia
Di rubarle al tempo
Per potergli dare
Tutto un altro senso
Distratto, stupido e testardo
Come sempre provo a farlo
Ho deciso di fermarlo
Per poterti avere ancora
Non dire una parola
Sperando che non se ne accorga
Ho strappato via anche l�ultima mezz�ora
Pensando che sia l�unica maniera
Per sentirti qui vicino ancora
Sempre più stupido e testardo
Come sempre torno a farlo
E di nuovo per fermarlo
E poterti dire
Ancora
Tra nuvole e lenzuola
Non farlo per un ora
non farlo mai per ora
E stringimi allora
Tra nuvole e lenzuola
Non dire una parola
Non dire una parola

Ore
Che lente
E inossidabili
Attraversano il silenzio del mio cielo
E si nascondono ad un tratto
Dietro nuvole
Che straziano il sereno
Le senti riaffiorare quando tutto
Tutto sembra aver trovato il giusto peso
Aver la voglia di rubarle al tempo
Per potergli dare ancora un altro senso ancora
Stringimi allora
Tra nuvole e lenzuola
Non dire una parola
Non farlo mai per ora
Abbracciami ancora
Ara nuvole e lenzuola

Non dire una parola
Non dire una parola

Ore
Che lente
E inossidabili
Attraversano il silenzio del mio cielo
E si nascondono ad un tratto
Dietro nuvole
Che straziano il sereno
Le senti riaffiorare quando tutto
Sembra aver trovato il giusto peso
Aver la voglia di rubarle al tempo
Per potergli dare ancora un altro senso ancora

(English)
Hours,
Slow and inexorable
That cross the silence
Of my sky
Just to hide
Suddenly
Behind clouds
That destroy the serenity
Feeling them bloom
When everything
Seems to have found the right weight
Having the desire
To steal time
In order to give it
A whole other sense
Diverted, stupid, stubborn,
Like I always try to do it.
I've decided to stop it
To be able to have you still
Don't say anything
Hoping he won't realize
I've stolen even the last half hour
Thinking it was the only chance
To feel you close still
More and more stupid and stubborn
Like I always do it again and again
And to stop it again
And being able to tell you still
Between clouds and bedsheets
Don't do it just for an hour
Don't do it now
And hold me
Between clouds and sheets
Don't say a word
Don't saw a word

Hours
Slow and inexorable
That cross the silence
Of my sky
Just to hide suddenly
Behind clouds
That destroy the serenity
You feel them bloom when everything
Everything seems to have found the right weight
Having the desire to steal time
In order to be able to give it a new meaning
Hold me then
Between clouds and sheets
Don't say a word
Don't do it now
Hold me again
Between clouds and sheets

Don't say a word
Don't say a word

Hours
Slow and eternal
Suddenly cross the silence of my sky
Behind clouds
That destroy the serenity
You feel them bloom when everything
Seems to have found the right weight
Feeling the desire to steal time
In order to be able to give it a new meaning.

Cover art for Nuvole e Lenzuola lyrics by Negramaro

The lyrics lose a little something in translation and may not make too much sense, but I think this song is about a couple that is growing apart, and he desperately wants to enjoy the last moments as much as possible, delaying a breakup and drawing out the remaining time they have together.

Negramaro is awesome, and you should definitely check out this album, called Mentre Tutto Scorre.

@JoeyOvenstone Yes, their songs are wonderful, but much like good poetry they don't have a clear narrative, they are very metaphorical and impossible to translate
