Il mio gioco preferito [English translation]

Born a second ago

My heart is as big as the world

With its mountains and skyscrapers

I'm greedy for this beauty

Sky in my eyes

And mud on my t-shirt

I've got plenty of time, I've got little time

And I want everything and I live quickly

Wind, rain, slaps on my face

And an electric guitar

They told me you forget

All of this when you grow up

But it's still me

At the edge of the field, with the same lump in my throat

I go back home and play again

Play again

I cry, laugh and play again

Play again

And I've got this life

Where I jump and fall

But it's my favorite game

I go back home and play again

Play again

Play again

So many books

But I never remember their endings

But if I look for an answer

I'll hear my father's voice loud and clear

Lift your head up

It's not over when you fall

If your shoes are broken

Your legs are crooked

Your hands are dirty

But your eyes are clean

I scream, pray, waste my breath

I try and eat dust

I look straight ahead and when I lose

I keep running

I'm here, in front of emptiness

I know I'm shivering, but look how I'm flying

I go back home and play again

Play again

I cry, laugh and play again

Play again

And I've got this life

Where I jump and fall

But it's my favorite game

I go back home and play again

Play again

Play again

The photos in the drawer

And the marks I've got on my face

Remind me that the day when I didn't love

Was a wasted day

And, darling, that's why

In this great sphere

I chase you, I tickle you... that's how life is

I play again

I go back home and play again

Play again

I cry, laugh and play again

Play again

And I've got this life

Where I jump and fall

But it's my favorite game

I go back home and play again

Play again

Play again
