L'essenziale [English translation]

Heroes state

«When the going gets tough, it's time to get going!»

besides, lucky them

if they confuse offense with good.

It happens to us as well

to fight and then desire peace

and in my silence

I cancel each of your pains

to value what I couldn't choose.

As the world falls to pieces

I compose new spaces and desires, which

also belong to you

since, for me, you've been since forever

essential.

I won't accept

another evaluation error

love is able to

hide behind lovable words

I pronounced before they

became empty and stupid.

As the world falls to pieces

I compose new spaces and desires, which

also belong to you

since, for me, you've been since forever

As the world falls to pieces

I move away from excess

and bad habits,

I will come back to the origin,

will come back to you, you are for me

essential.

Love doesn't follow logic

it takes breath away from you, not thirst.

As the world falls to pieces

I compose new spaces and desires, which

also belong to you

As the world falls to pieces

I move away from excess

and bad habits,

I will come back to the origin,

will come back to you, you are for me

essential.
