It rains on the Ocean
It rains on the Ocean
It rains on my identity
Lights on the Ocean
Lights on the Ocean
Gaps of luminosity
Maybe there in America
the winds of the Pacific
Uncover its immensity
My hands hold tight
some faraway dreams
And my thoughts run to you
I row, I shake, I feel
Deep dark abysses
It's for the love I give you
and for the love you don't know
that makes me wreck
It's for the love I don't have
and for the love I'd want
It's for this pain
It's for this love I have for you
That makes me get over those real storms
Waves on the Ocean
Waves on the Ocean
that will gently calm down
My hands hold tight
some faraway dreams
and your breath blows on me
I row, I shake, I feel
A wind around my heart
It's for the love I have for you
That makes me get over thousands of storms
It's for the love I give you
and for the love I'd want
from this sea
It's for the life that isn't there
that makes me wreck
deep in my heart
All this will have you
and to you everything will seem normal
The lyrics are kind of obscure, but the way I read it is that it's about a man who is leaving his home (Italy?) and going to America, and he is separated from his love. Nice imagery connecting the ocean and relationships... It also seems like perhaps the person he loves does not return the love he shows the way he wishes, which is something most of us can probably relate to.
Here's the translation I ganked from some site:

Thank you so much for this translation. The song is really deep, and expressed so well. I love the way that other languages flow in music.
