Cigno nero [English translation]

[Verse 1: Fedez]

Your heart beats in time, a new rhythm never heard before

And from that little that I've heard, it's already my favorite piece

I've eaten shit for twenty years, but I haven't lost my appetite

I still want to scrape my plate

Your lips taste like smoke, soft like pampers

Makes the head heavy but the heart lighter

You are the black swan, tired of following the heard

Your heart is as big as the sun but as cold as marble

Not young nor old, in your heart it hails

Tonight no drinking, I want to drink my tears

A crack above my chest becomes a chasm

In which you can't do any collagen injections

I'm apathetic, but you lack character

Lets take off our clothes off, but keep our masks on

If you take a good look at me, you won't see my tired eyes

He who dreams with his eyes open can't blink

[Chorus: Francesca Michielin]

The tears that burn

Are consumed by the wind

The black that once dirtied me

Now makes me clean

And everything I've lost

I will lose again

I'm stuck in the void

You left in me

[Verse 2: Fedez]

What good would it do to say we loved each other

When we leave the club we'll have already left each other

Let's enjoy the moment because sooner or later it'll be over

Love often takes but doesn't give back

I'm still waiting for the heart I let her borrow

If life teaches, I'm it's worst alum

It's like we were at war

The beginning is long but the end is never far

You're beautiful but damaged

The missing half of a poison apple

I'm looking for the antidote in another dose of poison

Like someone who was allied with another who had snakes for breasts

With the knowledge that there's no certainty

Come, be close to me, but keep a safe distance

I gave you a finger, but you took my whole heart

I've always been inclined to the mistakes of love

[Chorus]

[Verse 3: Fedez]

Your name was written in pencil

You can erase it once and that's it

Between you and me,

You're the most beautiful mistake I've ever made

Between you and me,

You're the most beautiful mistake I've ever made
