Burattino telecomandato [English translation]

I have travelled around the whole world,

But I cannot say who I’ve been with.

I could call myself a vagabond or remote controlled puppet.

How many times have I asked myself, what I’ve been doing all this for?

Can’t you see that you don’t have any real friends?

And amidst thousands of disappointments I always tried to feel everything.

But when I sing, I am more sincere than ever.

I am only happy when I am among you all.

And then I don’t sell fantasies, but moments of my life.

And I would like to freely give kisses and flowers.

I would take pictures, like I did when I travelled with nuns.

Maybe I would find a woman who would love me,

Just loved me and wouldn’t think about what would happen next.

And I would find a friend, who would listen to me when I am sad and need to talk.

But when I sing,

I forget about all my troubles,

And when I sing,

I live among you all,

Because I don’t want to just make a record and leave.

But amidst thousands of disappointments I always tried to feel everything.

But when I sing, I am more sincere than ever.

I am only happy when I am among you all.

And then I don’t sell fantasies, just because I want to make a record and leave.

And every time I am left with my illusions.

And I don’t know if it was a good thing to write this song.

And it has been said so many times already.

But everyone has their own truth.

But amidst thousands of disappointments I am again trying to feel everything.
