La storia [English translation]

We are the sorry, no one should feel offended

we are this lawn of aces under the sky.

We are the story, regard, no one should feel excluded.

We are the story, we are this sea waves,

this noise that breaks the silence,

this silence so difficult to chew.

And then they tell you "The are all the same,

they all steal in the same way."

But it is only a way to convince you to stay closed inside the house when the darkness fall.

However the story does not really stop in front of a (big) door,

the story goes inside the stanzas, it burns them,

the story makes it wrong and makes it right.

We are the story, we are the ones that write the letters,

we are who can win it all or loose it all.

And then the people, (because the people makes the (hi)story)

when it comes to choose and to leave

you find them all with the eyes open,

and they know exactly what to do.

Those who read billions of books,

and those who can barely talk (or those who don't even know how to talk)

and that's why that the story gives you shivers,

because no one can stop it.

We are the story, we are fathers and sons,

It is we, hello darling, we are leaving.

The story has no hiding places,

the story does not give up.

We are the story, we are this plate with grain.
