Al fratello che non ho [English translation]

Being twenty is not that easy

It takes a life to learn it

It takes days spent struggling

And endless nights to take some rest

You need a wooden head

'Cause stumbling is easier

And a tin heart to remold

You need dreams that are stronger than an anvil

'Cause loneliness may crush them

To the brother I've never had

I could teach a thousand tricks to ease his pains

The brother I've never had

At least, he wouldn't do like me

I wonder if my father too would see me like this

Lost in worthless struggles against invisible enemies

And if he understood, but couldn't tell me

"At least you, live

These magical anguishes that will never occur again"

But I say

Being twenty won't be that easy

There are too many minutes you can't waste

There are buttery certainties that outlast the centuries

And a lot of marble doubts to cramble

To the brother I've never had

I could teach a thousand tricks to ease his pains

The brother I've never had

At least, he wouldn't do like me
