Città che non hai più porte, tienimi nascosto
City that no longer has doors, hide me
Fai tornare il silenzio
Bring back the silence
Hai gli occhi rossi e un accento che sembra coraggio
You have red eyes and an accent that sounds like courage
Ma l'ho perso col tempo
But I lost it over time
E tra le gru dei palazzi il nero di una fogna
And among the cranes of the buildings, the black of a sewer
Il cuore come un albergo
My heart like a hotel
Ma gli occhi di quei ragazzi che la notte accende
But the eyes of those kids that the night ignites
A volte è buio anche il giorno
Sometimes even the day is dark
E dov'è che si impara l'istinto
And where do you learn instinct?
Un fiore contro il diluvio
A flower against the flood
Non ha mai vinto
It never won
E com'è che mi lasci qui
And how is it you leave me here?
E allora sarà per sempre ma considerando
And so it will be forever, but considering
Che niente dura in eterno
That nothing lasts forever
Ci riempiremo di spalle per sembrare forti
We'll broaden our shoulders to seem strong
Ballando, ma fuori tempo
Dancing, but out of time
E coi pensieri dipinti, i corpi, le sculture
And with painted thoughts, bodies, sculptures
Un angelo dorme tra le impalcature
An angel sleeps among the scaffolding
Ti cola il trucco dagli occhi e finalmente vedo
Your makeup runs from your eyes and I finally see
Che belle le tue paure, paure
How beautiful your fears are, fears
Dov'è che si impara l'istinto
Where do you learn instinct?
Un fiore contro il diluvio
A flower against the flood
Non ha mai vinto
It never won
E com'è che mi lasci qui
And how is it you leave me here?
E dov'è che si impara l'istinto
And where do you learn instinct?
Un fiore contro il diluvio
A flower against the flood
Non ha mai vinto
It never won
E com'è che mi lasci qui
And how is it you leave me here?
