una domanda (a question)
Do you notice
when I try to paint you?
I reach for the brushes
with a single heart.
My eyes get lost
in the colors of the fields.
And my feet are running
out of control.
And slowly
you show me your face.
And gently
you gift me with a smile.
Il treno (the train)
Let us get away from here.
Far, far away from here ...
But if our head keeps spinning,
and if we keep going in circles?
We will always be part of this motley crew!
Let us get away from here.
Far away from here ...
But this train, this train,
is going too fast,
way, way, too fast.
Let us get away from here.
Far away from here ...
But we are doing well, always too well,
when we are together, in this place,
full of nostalgia. What a sickness!
It does not go away!
Let us get away from here.
Far away from here ...
per un secondo (for a second)
where do I find hope
and what color will she have
where does she hide
during the day
and at night, where does she sleep
or is she always on the go
for a second, all that matters
is the smile
for a second, all that matters
is the encounter
for a second, all that matters
is the presence
for a second, all that matters
is the moment
in primavera (in spring)
in spring, in the evening,
we walk together, close to the river
you squeeze my hand, we’ll walk far,
we'll go by foot, and then you sit down
dear river, wake up, wake up,
it is a new day
I need to hear this song
that comes from afar
and which takes us away,
to the ocean, you know
dear river
sing to me, sing to me
and I hope you’ll surprise us
with a song, from afar
what a stream
what a race
dear river, wake up, wake up,
it is a new day
