L'abitudine di sorridere [English translation]

A million years ago

We were already here

Jumping and having fun

We ran barefoot

You took me by the hand

A million years ago

A billion years ago

Here, relaxed among the stars

Having as well as too much

Time to watch them

And as strange as it can be, I admit

That one day I told a tree

'In this moment and forevermore

I'm the sister and you're the brother'

And if it's true that everything changes later

It won't be me that will tell you that

The habit of smiling doesn't come back, the habit of smiling

The habit of smiling, the habit of smiling

A billion years ago

We were already here

This world is always ours

We belong to the same world

And as strange as it can be, I admit

That one day I told the sky

'In this moment and forevermore

I'm the sister and you're the brother'

And if it's true that everything passes later

It won't be me that will tell you that

The habit of smiling doesn't come back, the habit of smiling

The habit of smiling, the habit of smiling

A billion years ago

We were already here

Talking only with the eyes

Looking for each other amidst the bell's tolls

Of that time that doesn't pass

When you're the one that is waiting for it

But that passes in a hurry

When you wait for it to stop

And if it's true that everything changes later

I'll be seeing if it comes back

And if it is as light as smiling, it is a simple as smiling

If it is as light as smiling, it is a simple as smiling

Smiling, smiling, smiling

And laughing, laughing, laughing...
