Destinazione paradiso [English translation]

In this carousel of souls,

those who turn get lost and stay here.

I know it for real, my friend.

I also turned

and to reach you I had to run.

But the more I look around me, I see

there's a world that keeps going on even if

you're not here anymore. You're not here anymore.

And tell me why

in this carousel of souls

there is no place

to shake off

what has been said

and that is already known.

And then you know what is there.

That whatever there is, there's a train I take

heading to Paradise City.

I bid everyone farewell and I jump on it.

I take the train and stop thinking.

A journey only makes sense without a return

if it's not a flight,

with no stops nor boundaries,

only horizons but not so distant either.

I'll grab myself to my seat

and you, sitting there by my side,

will tell me, 'Destination: Paradise'.

heading to Paradise City.

I'll grab myself to my seat

and you, sitting there by my side,

will tell me, 'Destination: Paradise.

A paradisiacal city'.
