The waves that carry ships to sea
And the distant gaze of a lighthouse
Between us and becoming
It's a slow escape
The lights of the house look like stars to me
On lands that have motherly voices
In my disappearance
They go to sleep
For you
I have the sun in the east in my heart
And in the world wherever he goes
It will remind me of the road
Which leads up to you
You are like the sun in the east
I know however it goes
In this complicated life
I will come back to you
I will be navigating between clouds and wind
I will see the ends of the world on the horizon
In which you are my time
You look into the blue as a thought flies
For you
I have the sun in the east in my heart
And in the world wherever he goes
It will remind me of the road
Which leads up to you
You are like the sun in the east
I know however it goes
In this complicated life
I will come back to you
I will come back to you
For you
I have the sun in the east in my heart
And in the world wherever he goes
It will remind me of the road
Which leads up to you
You are like the sun in the east
I know however it goes
In this complicated life
I will come back to you
I will come back to you

navigante — navigator

Navigante translates to "navigator" or "seafarer". It's a less common word than simply "sailor" and evokes a sense of journey and exploration.

In the song, the singer declares, "Sarò navigante tra nuvole e vento" (I will be a navigator between clouds and wind). This metaphor beautifully expresses his commitment to overcome any obstacles and journey through life's complexities to return to his loved one, making it a powerful and evocative choice.

"Il Sole Ad Est" ("The Sun in the East") is a tender song about longing across distance. The singer imagines himself as a sailor watching the waves and a lighthouse fade behind him, homesick for the warmth of the person waiting for him.

Even out at sea, surrounded by clouds and wind, he carries that person in his heart like the rising sun in the east: a fixed point that always guides him home. However complicated life gets, he keeps returning to the same promise, that no matter where the journey takes him, he will always come back.

Alberto Urso performed this ballad at the Sanremo Music Festival in 2020, and its imagery of the sea, the horizon and the lighthouse runs through the whole song as a metaphor for a love that endures distance and time.
