Lyrics & translation
Verse
The bulb has been flickering for a week.
La lampadina lampeggia da una settimana.
We brought the ladder to the corner.
Abbiamo portato la scala all'angolo.
We turn small tools in the cold air.
Giriamo piccoli attrezzi nell'aria fredda.
We leave this gift for the neighbor upstairs.
Lasciamo questo regalo al vicino di sopra.
Chorus
Now the light stays on.
Ora la luce resta accesa.
It lights his first walk through the yard.
Illumina la sua prima passeggiata nel cortile.
Now the light stays on.
Ora la luce resta accesa.
He walks outside into the calm.
Esce nella calma.
Verse
He puts on his coat and ties his shoes.
Si mette il cappotto e si allaccia le scarpe.
He hasn't left the house since the rain.
Non è uscito di casa dopo la pioggia.
The concrete is clear and the glass is clean.
Il cemento è libero e il vetro è pulito.
He smiles at the glow on the porch.
Sorride al bagliore sul portico.
Chorus
Now the light stays on.
Ora la luce resta accesa.
It lights his first walk through the yard.
Illumina la sua prima passeggiata nel cortile.
Now the light stays on.
Ora la luce resta accesa.
He walks outside into the calm.
Esce nella calma.
Bridge
We watched from the window across the way.
Abbiamo guardato dalla finestra dall'altra parte.
His first steps were slow but strong.
I suoi primi passi erano lenti ma forti.
The darkness is gone from the pavement.
L'oscurità è sparita dal marciapiede.
Nobody has to feel alone tonight.
Nessuno deve sentirsi solo stasera.
Chorus
Now the light stays on.
Ora la luce resta accesa.
It lights his first walk through the yard.
Illumina la sua prima passeggiata nel cortile.
Now the light stays on.
Ora la luce resta accesa.
He walks outside into the calm.
Esce nella calma.
