Una Cosa Più Grande ~ A Short Sprace Story

Epilogue ~ A Simple Song On The Street A Part Of Something Bigger

AAAAAAAAAAA THIS IS IT!!!!!

This is the real ending of this story.

I am so not ready for this.

But this is going to be so cute, so I am also excited haha.

This is based a year after Chapter Ten ended.

Also, there's a reason why the music video is conveniently in the image area.

(Note: I can't exactly figure out the exact translation of Su questa terra, almeno qui c'è lei, c'è lei, so I wrote the translation a few different ways. And also know that lei could mean her, like referring to someone as her, or it's referring to the terra - Earth, which is a feminine noun. So, it really could go either way if lei  is a someone or something. That's what I think. Unless if someone else has a better idea.)

Are you all ready?!

Enjoy! :)

----------------------------------------------

Antonio plays the opening chords to Una Cosa Più Grande. He has Sean by his side. A few passerbys have stopped, watching them curiously. There aren't too many people who are staying right now. That's going to change soon.

Antonio will never get tired of this. He wouldn't exchange his time performing songs in the piazza for anything.

It's been a year since he and Sean met, and so much has happened.

They had stayed in touch. They texted and called nonstop. Antonio surprised Sean by coming to New York that August. It didn't take long for them to fall back into the flow that they were in. They realized that they never wanted to be apart. That was when they had decided that they wanted to live together, to officially say that they were dating.

So they've been traveling the world together. They've been living in Brooklyn and Campania, the two places they call home; without having any "real jobs" as most people would call them; but they do what they feel is true to them. And it works. They've never been happier.

And now here they are.

They're right back where they started, but so much has changed since then.

True, they're back in Campania and singing this song. But this time they know each other. And this time when they sing this song, Antonio has a ring box hidden in his keyboard case, ready to bring it out once the song ends.

For now, it's time to sing the opening lyrics.

Antonio begins to sing. "Dimmi, ciao," (Tell me hi)

"Ciao," Sean responds.

Antonio picks up again. "Come stai?" (How are you?)

"Sembra facile, (It seems easy,)

Ma no lo è per niente." (But it isn't at all.)

Sean's turn. "La vita maliconica, (The melancholic life,)

È dispendiosa e sai, (is expensive and you know,)

Che spesso ti distrugge." (That often destroys you.)

Now for the chorus, soft and gentle and nostalgic and sweet all at once.

Antonio: "A volte piangi e non sai," (Sometimes you cry and don't know,)
Sean: "Non sai, non sai," (Don't know, don't know,)
