L'impossibile idea [English translation]

It's the lift, it's TV;

it's a child that is not studying anymore;

it's having to be;

it's not deluding yourself;

it's the uncertainty and fear

of tomorrow

...tomorrow.

It's a flight you're not gonna catch;

it's a journey, it's the never island;

it's a guilty

will to live,

a will to go and stop thinking

about tomorrow,

about whether there will be tomorrow

or not.

It's the impossible idea,

the sudden tide;

it's the pirate ship.

It's the air, it's liberty;

it's feeling like

you're in an invented story,

like when, as a child,

you were running after a fairy.

Was that a diva, an aunt,

or a girl from your high school?

It was a need to hide

your urge to live,

as you're doing this night, for fear

of tomorrow,

of whether there will be tomorrow

or not.

It's the impossible idea,

the sudden tide;

it's the pirate ship.

It's the air, it's liberty;

it's the memory that helps you

find your way again;

it's the future that comes back

even before it takes place.

It's the lift, it's TV;

but now, you are not you anymore,

with your stupid

will to live,

which helps you overcome your fear

of tomorrow

...tomorrow.
