Italian term

Avere il cuore nelle orecchie

Italian to English Marketing General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
Sto traducendo un testo molto molto astratto, che parla di forme e spazi astratti, composto da moltwe frasi, brevi, non collegate tra loro. Una di queste è:
"Avere il cuore nelle orecchie" per enfatizzare il senso dell'udito e del sentire con il cuore.

Better than growing a pair of ears on one's heart! Sorry, couldn't resist!

my heart hears and my ears feel

An idea.
Or "I can hear with my heart and feel with my ears."
Peer comment(s):

neutral Michael Korovkin : Very funny, thank you! And if they are hairy they feel so much more – even the slightest distant touch! :)

Thanks M., I hope you agree with me that the sentence is rather strange in Italian as well! :)

hearing with the soul

boh, perché no?

Sai, il cuore è anche un organo, come, d'altronde, sono le orecchie. L'effetto, dunque, sembra sia comico (vedi il mio stupido entry presso Discussione) od ambiguo (simile agli "avere il cuore nello stomaco": quando si eccita, il cuore pulsa nelle orecchie)

to hear your heart thumping

I am sure this is referring to that sensation we get when we get a sudden shock or are upset about something and it seems we can actually hear our heart thumping!!!
