Ciao [English translation]

There was some sort of lightning right in the middle of the sky

which was smooth cobalt blue, smooth without the slightest imperfection

the city below was like a nativity scene, sunset lights,

a plane's trail, they made the world better

than poets' hard work, half journalists

bitches and kosovans, then other mixed kinds

they counted the stars, the first ones to come

then an old lady's voice

greeting everyone saying hello

Hello! I don't know whose fault it is

Hello! I don't know whose fault it is

Hello! I don't know whose fault it is

Hello! I don't know whose fault it is

Hello! I don't know whose fault it is

Hello! I don't know whose fault it is

Hello! I don't know whose fault it is

Hello! I don't know whose fault it is

Hello! I don't know whose fault it is

Hello! I don't know whose fault it is

Hello! I don't know whose fault it is

Riccione beach, millions of people

bellies underneath the sun, the ice cream and the beach umbrella

get tanned, you moron, you still haven't understood

we've always been at war

even on the 15th in Viserba

at war against ourselves, amidst videos and newspapers

and us looking more and more foolish letting people dupe us

With our indifference, passion for things

which we can't miss

even the dangerous ones

like, for example, a song

while you're singing it

out there someone dies

someone else is born

it's the game of life

we have to prepare it

to avoid letting it slip off our fingers

like sand by the sea

Hello! I don't know whose fault it is

Hello! I don't know whose fault it is

Hello! I don't know whose fault it is

Hello! I don't know whose fault it is

Hello! I don't know whose fault it is

Hello! I don't know whose fault it is

Hello! I don't know whose fault it is

Hello! I don't know whose fault it is

Hello! I don't know whose fault it is

Hello! I don't know whose fault it is

Hello! I don't know whose fault it is
