Destinazione paradiso [English translation]

In this round dance of the souls

Who turns around is lost and stays here.

I know it, for a certain friend

I also turned around

And to reach you I had to run

But the more I look around, the more I see that

There is the world which goes on even if

If you are not here any more,

If you are not here any more.

And tell me why

In this round dance of the souls there is not, no

Place to throw off from ourselves

Somethings what has been told to us

And something what now is known.

And you know that there is

There is that there is

That I will take a train

Which goes to a Paradise city.

And I am saying “bye” to you all and jumping in it,

I will take a train and will not think of it any more.

A journey makes sense only without return,

If it is not in flight,

Without stops and borders,

Only horizons and not very far.

I will take my place

And you will sit next to me,

You will tell me: “Destination is Paradise”.

There is that there is

That I will take a train

Which goes to a Paradise city.

I will take my place

And you will sit next to me,

You will tell me: “ Destination is Paradise”.

Destination is Paradise...
