Le cose in comune [English translation]

The things we have in common are 4850.

This account has always been, since you told me: "No way, you're also from the 60's?"

We have two arms, two hands, two legs, two feet, two ears and a single brain,

Only the look isn't quite the same, because mine is normal, but yours is too good!

The things we have in common are easy to spot:

We like music at the loudest volume the stereo can handle,

We like Daniele, Battisti, Lorenzo, the cries of Prince, the Police,

We put in a CD before falling asleep, and when we wake it it has to be there.

Because when I sleep, you sleep,

When I talk, you talk,

When I laugh, you laugh,

When I cry, you cry,

When I sleep, you sleep,

When I talk, you talk,

When I laugh, you laugh,

When I cry, you laugh.

The things we have in common are so many that it's almost frightening:

We've both lived for over twenty years and both still for less than thirty,

We like to eat, to sleep, to travel, to dance, to smile, to make love.

You see it? There are so many things in common, that making a list of them would take at least three hours.

But, then, what is it? What more do you need? For me, one hour was enough.

The things we have in common. Remember? You said it first.

You said: "But look! The same place, the same potatoes, the same beagle!"

And to who asked me for a new confirmation, an identical rhythm of wine and laughter,

And then the emotion of that first kiss, the precise lips, perfect, stuck together.

Hugging you, studying your body, seeing that you were already red-faced,

And meanwhile discovering, amazed and touched, that you had my exact same bones.

And so I ask you: "Isn't it enough? What else do you need to be certain?

With all the things that we have in common, wouldn't the union between us be perfect?"

Because when I sleep, you sleep,

When I talk, you talk,

When I laugh, you laugh,

When I cry, you cry,

When I sleep, you sleep,

When I talk, you talk,

When I laugh, you laugh,

When I cry, you laugh.

But, then, what is it? What more do you need? For me, one hour was enough.

For me, one hour was enough.

The things we have in common are 4850.

This account has always been, since you told me: "No way, you're also from the 60's?"

We have two arms, two hands, two legs, two feet, two ears and a single brain,

Only the look isn't quite the same, because mine is normal, but yours, oh, it's too good!

Too good!

When I sleep, you sleep,

When I talk, you talk,

When I laugh, you laugh,

When I cry, you laugh.

Too good!
