L'abitudine di tornare [English translation]

Returning is a habit

For those like you

Buried and bored by the usual routines

Will you ever confess to your wife

That on saturdays you've slept with me

For about ten years, through thick and thin

But I can't ask

I mustn't ask

It's you that will answer if you want

But I can't cry

I mustn't cry

It's you that will decide if you want

Returning is a habit

For those like you

Faithful, tightly tied to the usual fold

How will you tell your wife

You've got a son that's identical to you

He's got big, black eyes

He's just turned three

He's young and he can't ask

He mustn't ask

It's you that will answer if you want

But he mustn't cry

Crying's a shame

It's you that will answer

If you know

But I can't ask

I mustn't ask

It's you that will answer if you want

But I can't ask

I mustn't ask

It's you that will answer if you want

It's you that will answer

You always can answer

It's you that will answer

You always can answer
