Capelli [English translation]

Me, without hair,

am a page with no grid.

A perfume with no bottle.

A door closed without a handle.

A marble with no track.

A fisherman without his best bait.

Don Giovanni without a fling.

Me, without you, a sceptre with no king.

I don't want to apologise anymore

if on my head I keep wearing this type of Medusa

or forest... it's not only a sign of protest.

But it's a shelter for insects,

a nest for the birds

who love each other calmy between my thoughts and the sky.

It is the part of me that looks more like me.

I always live next to my hair.

Oh, I always live next to my hair.

I always live next to my hair.

Oh, I always live next to my hair.

I haven't come here on a motorcycle.

I didn't comb with bombs in my hand.

I didn't plug my fingers in a socket.

I didn't wash with bleach.

I'm one of those who wear

their hair long by choice,

and who don't use any tricks,

you take your wigs off.

I always live next to my hair... in the world,

I always live next to my hair.

I always live next to my hair... in the world,

I always live next to my hair.

(In the world...)

You, without jewellery,

are a page with no grid.

A perfume with no bottle.

A door closed without a handle.

A marble with no track.

A fisherman without his best bait.

Don Giovanni without a fling.

You, without me, a sceptre with no king.

(You always live next to your jewellery...)

A sceptre with no king.

(I always live next to my hair...)

A sceptre with no king.

(You always live next to your jewellery...)

A sceptre with no king.

(I always live next to my hair...)

But when I lose my sense and I feel like nothing,

I ask my hair to confirm my existence

and represent something for others,

something unique, alive, true and honest.

Despite this unfortunate increase of pride,

every day I live, I try

to be a man and not a bush.

(I always live next to my hair...)

In the world.

(I always live next to my hair...)

(You always live next to your jewellery...)

(I always live next to my hair...)
