Emozioni [English translation]

Following with eyes a heron above the river and then

Finding yourself flying

And lying down happy above the grass to listen to

A subtle sorrow

And at night passing with the look at the hill to find out

Where the sun goes to sleep

Asking yourself why when the sadness falls

At the bottom of the heart

Like the snow doesn't make a sound

And driving like crazy with headlights turned off in the night

For to see

If afterwords is so hard to die

And clasping hands to stop

Something that is inside of me

But in your mind it is not

You can't understand

You call it if you want

Emotions

You call it if you want

Emotions

Getting out of the moor of the morning

Where you can't see a hair's breadth away

To find your own self again

Making a small talk with a fisherman

For hours and hours

For not to hear that inside something is dying

And covering with soil a green seedling

Hoping it will be able to

Sprout one day a red rose

And taking in the fists a l man

Only because he was a little rude

Knowing that what burns are not insults

And closing the eyes for to stop

Something that

Is inside of me

But in your mind it is not

You can't understand

You call it if you want

Emotions

You call it if you want
