To Love Before [Italian translation]

What to do about the earth

That doesn’t turn

Let Hell be closed up

I’m not going down there

For whom is this sea

That doesn’t rock

And worse, is fleeting [I’m not certain about this line]

I don’t stay there

I was wondering

If you would understand

But understand what?

Words don’t convey it

refrain

I will always go where it’s calm

I will always go where it’s straight

Where my honesty disarms

What you will never understand

I’ve learned through its tears

That we have to love it better than that

That lies are like knives

That slice and I don’t cut myself with them

I will always go where it’s calm

I will always go where it’s straight

Where infinity will be my flame

And you will never see it

It wasn’t you

I didn’t know

I don’t blame you

Any more than I blame myself

What to do about our wars

I will not fall in them

Checkmate yesterday

I don’t go back to it

To learn and to keep quiet

And to break because of it sometimes

To breathe in air

To breathe out you

I was wondering

If you heard me

But hear what?

Words don’t convey it
