Italy has finally confirmed that Francesca Michielin will indeed sing Nessun grado di separazione, her runner up in Sanremo 2016 festival, and the biggest hit from the festival so far in the charts and radios - she's been #1 already 3 weeks. The song will be cut to three minutes and the last chorus will be in English, and the whole affair is retitled No degree of separation. This new version will be released in coming days....
She explains in her FB: "I'm excited and honored to represent my country in Europe. I wanted to enter with my song fro Sanremo as it is a song that wants to cancel all geographical and cultural divisions and invites us all to embrace the one and only direction. We are Italians, we are French, German, Lithuanian, Swedish... We are blonds, brunettes, redheads... No! We are people with hopes and joys, dreams and delusions. We are all the same. In love and freedom. And I want to sing this in Italian because it's my language and it's a beautiful language, but also in English so that it can be shared with everyone, and it's an universal language."

Read the Eurovision version lyrics after the jump:
È la prima volta che mi capita
Prima mi chiudevo in una scatola
Sempre un po’ distante dalle cose della vita
Perché così profondamente non l’avevo mai sentita
E poi ho sentito un’emozione accendersi veloce
E farsi strada nel mio petto senza spegnere la voce
E non sentire più tensione solo vita dentro di me
Nessun grado di separazione
Nessun tipo di esitazione
Non c’è più nessuna divisione fra di noi
Siamo una sola direzione in questo universo che si muove
Non c’è nessun grado di separazione
Davo meno spazio al cuore e più alla mente
sempre un passo indietro e l’anima in allerta
e guardavo il mondo da una porta
mai completamente aperta e non da vicino
e no non c’è alcuna esitazione finalmente dentro di me
There is no degree of separation
There is no degree of hesitation
There is no degree of space between us
live in love
We are stars aligned together
dancing through the sky, we are shining
