Foglie al gelo [English translation]

A flower falls without noise

Without guilt nor pain

Without asking why.

While asleep an illusion takes shape

Life is a chance

That tomorrow will offer.

The sky above us is changing

There is no rush and then

At our awakening darkness will be scared.

Something new in my hands

My dignity

The sun will shine like white snow.

We will come back here

White leaves in the frost, naked and weightless

Here we will find again

Another surrendered dream locked into a drawer.

Without asking why

Yesterday it was here and today it is not.

As light as a change of season

The will to start again

Even a little will be enough

It is as if nothing ever happened

The beauty of a start

Seems to never end.

The sky above us is changing

There is no rush and then

At our awakening darkness will fall asleep.

Something new in my hands

My dignity

The sun will shine like white snow.

We will come back here

White leaves in the frost, naked and weightless

Here we will find again

Another surrendered dream locked into a drawer.

Without asking why

Yesterday it was here and today it is not.

Like surrendered leaves,

With no more defences

Despite the wind they are still hung

Buds now disclosed

Veins of water and light

Waiting for the sun while the sky is silent.

We will come back here

White leaves in the frost, naked and weightless

Here we will find again

Another surrendered dream locked into a drawer.

Without asking why

Yesterday it was here and today it is not.
