Adesso tu [English translation]

Born at the edges of the suburbs,

where the busses1 don't go any further,

where the area is public housing,

to dream is easier

than to face reality...

How many young people go away

to search for more than what they have,

perhaps because the punches received

were never given back to anybody,

and, inside, they hurt

even more.

And I learnt that, in life,

nobody gives us more,

but how much panting, how much climbing,

going forwards without

turning back...

And now, you, are here

to give a meaning to my days,

all is going well

from the moment that you are

here, now,

but I don't forget all

my friends who are still there...

And we find ourselves always more lonely,

at this age you don't know, you don't know,

but how many hurdles, how many flights

to move forwards

without ever getting there...

And now, you are here,

at the centre of my thoughts,

the inner part of the breaths.

You will be the will

that does not limit itself,

you, who, for me, are already

a payback...

Now, you know who is

that man that's inside me...

Born at the edges of the suburbs,

where I hardly ever go back.

There, remains the wind I left behind,

like a train already gone by,

today that you're by my side,

today that only you are here,

today that you are here,

now, you.

1. "Tram" is actually "streetcar" but busses are more likely in the suburbs.
