Strada facendo [English translation]

Me and my eyes, we have grown up together

with a restless soul asking around for a place that doesn't exist

between a thousand fresh bicycle mornings,

a thousand more sunsets behind the wires of the tram

and a pang of hunger for smiles and arms around me.

Me and my drawers of memories and addresses that I have lost.

I've seen the faces and voices of people I've loved leaving sooner or later.

And I've breathed an unknown sea during the long

and empty hours of a city summer

next to my shadow naked out of melancholy.

Me and my numerous shut-away evenings like when closing an umbrella

with my face over my chest reading me my pains and my problems.

I've walked those streets that bend themselves following the wind

and inside a sense of uselessness,

and fragile and violent, I've told myself, 'You'll see, you'll see, you'll see'.

Along the way, you'll see

you're not alone anymore.

Along the way, you'll find

a hook in the middle of the sky.

And you'll feel the street making your heart beat.

You'll see more love, you'll see.

Me, too small amidst all these people in the world.

Me who has dreamt on a train that has never left.

And I've run in the middle of moonlit white prairies

to rip one more day off from my ingenuity,

and young and aged, I've told myself, 'You'll see, you'll see, you'll see'.

Along the way, you'll see

you're not alone anymore.

Along the way, you'll find

a hook in the middle of the sky for you as well.

And you'll feel the street making your heart beat.

You'll see more love, you'll see.

And no song, not even this one, will be ever able to change our life,

but what is that that makes us move forward and say it's not over yet?

What is that which breaks our hearts amidst songs and love?

That which always makes us sing and love more?

So that tomorrow is better because tomorrow you.

(Along the way, you'll see...) So that tomorrow is better because tomorrow you.

(Along the way, you'll see...) So that tomorrow is better because tomorrow you.

(Along the way, you'll see...) So that tomorrow is better because tomorrow you.

(Along the way, you'll see...) You won't be alone.

(Along the way, you'll see...) No, no.

(Along the way, you'll see...)
