Laura Pausini - Francesca (Piccola Aliena)
Album: Fatti Sentire

Lyrics: Laura Pausini.
Music: Daniel Vuletic

Spanish version is Francesca.

This song is about Francesca Moroni who died at just three years old. She was the daughter of Laura's cousin Roberta.
To deal with the pain, Roberta made up a fairy tale in which Francesca is a little alien who came from a planet of children that was being destroyed, and that once restored the little ones had to return to it. Every day at the same time, since Francesca died last year, Roberta lets fly a red balloon with a copy of the story inside.
Francesca (Piccola Aliena)Francesca (Little Alien)
Francesca è qui
Dentro a un'idea.
La porto in me.
Francesca è mia.
Ha dato un senso a tutto
E poi è volata via

Angelo mio
Quel giorno ti ho promesso
Le mie favole
Le mando io nel palloncino rosso
Tra le nuvole

Il tuo cuore è qui
E significa che vive in me.
Non si fermerà.
Hai combattuto a lungo ma
La tua anima adesso è libera

Angelo mio
C'è ancora il tuo riflesso
Tra le lacrime.
Ti ho avuta io per darti quel che posso
Niente è inutile

Piccola aliena
Esci di scena
Ma rimango accanto a te.
Forse di notte
Tu dalla Luna
Cerchi me

Ti ha presa Dio
Perché lo sa che ti verrò a riprendere.
Ci sarò anch'io.
Quel giorno mi saprai mai riconoscere

Francesca è qui.
Francesca è mia
Francesca is here
Inside an idea.
I carry her in me.
Francesca is mine.
She gave meaning to everything
And then flew away

My angel
I promised you that day
I will send my fairytales
In the red balloon
Among the clouds

Your heart is here
And it means that it lives in me.
It will not stop.
You fought for a long time but
Your soul is now free

My angel
There is still your reflection
Among the tears.
I had you in order to give you what I can.
Nothing is useless

Little alien
You are leaving the stage
But I remain beside you.
Maybe at night
You are looking for me
From the moon

God has taken you
Because he knows that I will come to pick you up.
I will be there too.
That day you will never be able to recognise me

Francesca is here.
Francesca is mine
