Questa notte non so dormire
I can't sleep tonight
Qualcuno urla dal balcone
Someone is yelling from the balcony
Perché ha perso l'amore o il cane
Because she has lost love or the dog
O la sua rivoluzione
Or its revolution
Questa notte mi porto in giro
I'm walking around tonight
Lungo i portici e le mie strade
Along the arcades and my streets
Ogni stella è così vicino
Every star is so close
L'universo è un monolocale
The universe is a studio apartment
A quest'ora l'avrai capito
By now you will have figured it out
Che la vita può fare male e farti morire all'infinito
That life can hurt and make you die endlessly
Di un dolore occasionale
Of an occasional pain
Ma stanotte è tutto perfetto
But tonight everything is perfect
Come una formula segreta
Like a secret formula
Una lampadina fioca
A dim light bulb
Accesa in fondo a una bottega
Lit in the back of a shop
Volevamo solo essere felici
We just wanted to be happy
Come ridere di niente
How to laugh at nothing
Masticare sogni audaci
Chew bold dreams
E fidarci della gente
And trust people
Solo essere diversi
Just being different
E buttarci un po' via
And throw some away
E pigliare il mondo e alzarci
And take the world and get up
Sì buttarci via, buttarci via
Yeah throw us away, throw us away
Questa notte sembra un miraggio
This night seems like a mirage
Un profumo che dura poco
A perfume that does not last long
L'incoscienza che dà il coraggio
The recklessness that gives courage
Anche di ridere in faccia al vuoto
Even to laugh in the face of emptiness
Questa notte ti porto in giro
I'll take you around tonight
Impigliata ai miei pensieri
Entangled in my thoughts
E tutto sembra così pulito
And everything looks so clean
Come fossimo nati ieri
As if we were born yesterday
Ma a quest'ora l'avrai capito
But by now you will have figured it out
Che non c'era un tempo perfetto
There wasn't a perfect time
Ora che il tempo ci ha un po' sbiadito
Now that time has faded us a bit
Come foto dentro un cassetto
Like a photo inside a drawer
Ma stanotte è così leggera
But tonight is so light
Un vecchio film in prima visione
An old first run movie
Una bugia che sembra vera
A lie that seems true
Potrei giurarlo sul mio nome
I could swear it on my name
Volevamo solo essere felici
We just wanted to be happy
Come ridere di niente
How to laugh at nothing
Masticare sogni audaci
Chew bold dreams
E fidarci della gente
And trust people
Solo essere diversi
Just being different
E buttarci un po' via
And throw some away
E pigliare il mondo e alzarci
And take the world and get up
Sì buttarci via, buttarci via
Yeah throw us away, throw us away
Ma ogni tempo ha le sue regole
But every time has its rules
Ogni sbaglio ha le sue scuse
Every mistake has its excuses
La memoria ha le sue pagine
Memory has its pages
Piene di cancellature
Full of erasures
E qualcuno dal balcone
And someone from the balcony
Che ripete ancora non ti ricordi che
That repeats again you don't remember that
Non ti ricordi
Do not you remember
Volevamo solo essere felici
We just wanted to be happy
Come ridere di niente
How to laugh at nothing
Masticare sogni audaci
Chew bold dreams
E fidarci della gente
And trust people
Solo essere diversi
Just being different
E buttarci un po' via
And throw some away
E pigliare il mondo e alzarci
And take the world and get up
Sì buttarci via, buttarci via
Yeah throw us away, throw us away
