Vivere [English translation]

I live copying yesterday

and I’m always in trouble

I live and I ask you what you are

but, mirror, you never speak

I, who will never be able to create

anything

I, love the love but not the people

I, who will never be a God

To live, nobody has ever

taught us,

to live, photocopying the past

to live, even if I didn’t ask

to live, like a song

that nobody would ever sing

But if you saw a man

in front of your door

sleeping wrapped in a

cardboard box

if you listened to the world

one morning without the noise

of the rain

You, that can create with your voice,

you think the thoughts of the people

then of Gog

There’s only God

To live, nobody has ever

taught us

to live, you can’t live

without the past

to live is great even though

you’ve never asked it

there will be always a song

that someone will sing

Somebody is not enough for me.

To live still searching for

the great love.

Why, why, why, why,

aren’t you living tonight?

To live as if we never had to die

why, why, why, why

not to live right now?

To live and then suddenly comprehend

why, why, why

life is not life

..that after all you haven’t lived this life

..because you haven’t lived it

To live still searching for

a great love

To live

To live as if we never had to die

To live

To live and then suddenly comprehend

Why, why, why

life is not life

..that after all you haven’t lived this life

..because you haven’t lived it

I tell you no

I tell you yes

I tell you that

I want to live
