Lyrics and translation of “Spazio Tempo” by Francesco Gabbani

Se avessi le ali ti porterei lontano
If I had wings, I would take you far away

Ma tanto lontano che più lontano non si può
So far away that farther isn’t possible

Se fossi capace ti prenderei per mano
If I were able, I’d take your hand

E ti porterei proprio là dove sto andando io
And lead you exactly where I’m going

E quando ci arrivi non pensare a niente
And when you get there, don’t think about anything

È solo spazio tempo, spazio tempo, spazio tempo
It’s just space-time, space-time, space-time

Un lampo di luce nel cuore della notte
A flash of light in the heart of the night

Un tuffo nel buio quando non è estate
A dive into the dark when it isn’t summer

Se fossi più saggio lo sai cosa farei
If I were wiser, you know what I’d do

Ti porterei proprio là dove sto andando io
I’d take you exactly where I’m going

E quando ci arrivi non pensare a niente
And when you get there, don’t think about anything

È solo spazio tempo, spazio tempo, spazio tempo
It’s just space-time, space-time, space-time

L’universo intero si regge su un respiro
The entire universe is held together by a breath

Un movimento eterno che si ripeterà
An eternal motion that will repeat itself

Se avessi coraggio, lo sai cosa direi
If I had courage, you know what I’d say

Lo direi proprio là dove sto andando io
I’d say it exactly where I’m going

E quando ci arrivi non pensare a niente
And when you get there, don’t think about anything

È solo spazio tempo, spazio tempo, spazio tempo
It’s just space-time, space-time, space-time
