Guarda le luci di questa città [English translation]

Look at the lights of this city

That go backwards in terms of age

That seem younger than a hundred years ago

I went through the heart of their paths

Between the seasons and melancholy

Between these stores that change their names and suburbs

Look at the lights of this city

That almost seem like they can talk to us, but

Won't respond to you

Who knows if during all these years

You've ever noticed me

If whenever I cried, you heard me and understood me

Because if you defended me from hatred

Of those who believed me to be guilty

If you ever rejoiced to see me happier than ever

When my dreams were slowly erasing troubles

And if you care about how the world is doing or don't know what to do

Look at the lights of this city

That almost seem like they can talk to us, but

Won't respond to you

Look at the lights of this city

Who have seen the worst of humanity

But not even a single kiss was lost in the darkness

And a single Sunday

And so many stories, so many melodies

So many movies, so many photos

They stayed in the memories of grandmothers and aunts

Look at the lights of this city

That almost seem like they can talk to us, but

Won't respond to you, who knows if during all these years

You've ever noticed me

If whenever I cried, you heard me and understood me

Because if you defended me from hatred

Of those who believed me to be guilty

If you ever rejoiced to see me happier than ever

When my dreams were slowly erasing troubles

And if you care about how the world is doing or don't know what to do

Look at the lights of this city

That almost seem like they can talk to us, but

Won't respond to you, look at the lights of this city

That almost seem like they can talk to us, but

Won't respond to you
