English translation : Only you can hear my soul...
Moon, How many songs yet resounded through the centuries
desires winged the heaven to reach you,
harbour for non-writing poets
who often lose their minds.
You hear the sighs of yearning
and give a dream to every soul.
Guiding moon, listen to me now
 Only you can hear my soul...
Moon, you know the secret of eternity
and the narrow path of truth,
lighten my heart
heart of a man who doesn't know
that love can ease the pain
like a fire that burns the soul.

Moon, you light up the heaven and its immensity
we only see the side you wish to show
like we ourselves mostly do
non-flying porcelain angels
burning paper souls
hearts falling like leaves Dreams going up in smoke
children of the earth and of yourself,
who knows
that love can ease the pain
like a fire that burns the soul
but love is the driving force of our heart
the power that moves and illuminates everything.

Only you can hear my soul...
The dawning light, my goddess, my oh so silent goddess

Giovanni Allevi (born in Ascoli Piceno, Marche, April 9, 1969) is an Italian pianist and composer.

Allevi attained a "first-class diploma" both in piano at the "F. Morlacchi"'s conservatoire in Perugia and in composition at the "G. Verdi" academy of music in Milan. He graduated cum laude in Philosophy with a thesis entitled "Il vuoto nella Fisica contemporanea" (The Void in Contemporary Physics) and he attended the Accademia Internazionale di Alto Perfezionamento in Arezzo, under maestro Carlo Alberto Neri.

In 1991 he did military service in the Banda Nazionale of the Italian Army. The master of the band noticed his piano talent and decided to put the piano soloist in his "inventory." He played the Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin and the Warsaw Concerto by Richard Addinsell in his capacity as piano soloist of the Banda during a tour in numerous Italian theatres. At the end of his military service Allevi started presenting in concert a repertory formed exclusively of his own compositions for pianoforte while at the same time attending courses of "Bio-music and music therapy" by professor Mario Corradini, in which he enhanced his awareness of music's great power of "setting minds free" and its ability to evoke memories, images and emotions.
