The heart's clockwork
Ciao,It's you I'm talking right to
You aren't listening but I can smell your thoughts
With my yellow eyes
Ciao,
It's you I'm just talking to
I've left you my sky blue pillow,
The faux pas one
If
With a touch of magic
We could come back,
I'd make it all again
Listen to the heart's clockwork
That marks the hours and
Your sweet jelousy at the same time
Just for love or out of folly...
If
You make three steps towards me
I'll give you my nicest smile as a present
The one all dressed up
Ciao
A castle without a king
You can find it inside the bed
Where we lie together
Listen to the heart's clockwork
That marks the hours and
Your sweet jelousy at the same time
The heart's clockwork only
Knows it works far better
While you're telling a lie
Just for love or out of folly
We stay angry from morning to evening
But we love each other more than ever
When it's rainy I'm more sincere
If it's sunny, there's trouble
Listen to the heart's clockwork
How it prevents us from sleeping
So drenched up in our melancholy
With a black day in hand
After a while we start
Quarrelling again merrily
Just for love or out of folly...
Whereas a translation is presented as 'singable', it's by no means intended to be a literal version of the lyrics in another language. It just aspires to be a rhythmical, sometimes also rhyming, rendition of the text, so that different words can be sung along to the music, keeping the original meaning as much as the syllable count makes it possible .
