L'étoile a pleuré rose au coeur de tes oreilles,

Quartina

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the French (Français)

La stella ha lacrimato rosa nel cuore delle tue orecchie,
L'infinito ti ha rotolato bianco dalla nuca alle reni
Il mare ha stillato cremisi sulle tue mammelle vermiglie
E l'uomo ha dato scuro sangue al tuo fianco sovrano.
