Il confronto [English translation]

And you’ve been a liar, you had no courage

Almost always imperfect, but sometimes wise

And you’ve been to someone the husband they didn’t have

And you became father, but it didn’t happen

And you’ve been on the field, always behind a football

And now you’re here on the goal scoring a penalty kick against yourself

As a forever child in the years of a man

And you’ve been relevant and in a flash a nobody

You’ve got a diesel heart, you take it slow with it

Your life’s a flipper and, in fact, we play with it

But what are you waiting for to say "stop!"?

And in that mirror scream: “change your face!”?

You haven’t got here by mistake

You’ve given all of your worst, but you’ve done your best

And no, life’s not fair

It’s the past getting out of our head

Like songs of a radio

Loves from the closet

I hate you a little and love you a little

But beyond the fear of confrontation

You’ve won it all

And you’ve acted as an asshole when she believed in it

You left her there to die adrift with you

But you’ve been a gentleman when you didn’t answer

And it would have taken you two words, two words, to fix her

The heart is a killer taken from behind

The world is open above billions of stars

But what are you waiting for to say "stop!"?

And in that mirror scream “change your face!”?

You haven’t got here by mistake

You’ve given all of your worst, but you’ve done your best

And no, life’s not fair

It’s the past getting out of our head

Like songs of a radio

Loves from the closet

I hate you a little and love you a little

But beyond the fear of confrontation

You’ve won it all, you’ve won it all

But beyond the fear of confrontation

You’ve won it all

And no, life’s not

And no, life’s not fair

It’s the past getting out of our head

Like news on a newspaper

Fingerprints on a knife

You don’t want to fall, you can’t fly

But beyond the fear of confrontation

But beyond the fear of confrontation

Confrontation

Do you know that it's now clear to me? I’ve allowed myself

To talk to you truthfully and accept myself.
