Mai come ieri [English translation]

Because being happy

for an entire lifetime

would be almost

unbearable

maybe it’s better to swing

between ecstasy and boredom,

looking for the most

plausible answers

the fruit will be

just like the tree used to be,

sweet thought of living

everything

it can never be

like yesterday

never again the same story

it can never be

like yesterday

never that very same glory

come on, come to me and hug me

if I ever lost you it was

only for a moment

there are innumerable delicious

things

which are so close to our eyes

that we can’t see them

how much time we lost

aimlessly,

following inevitable

paths

the fruit will be

just like the tree used to be

sweet thought of living

everything

it can never be

like yesterday

never again the same story

it can never be

like yesterday

never that very same glory

come on, come to me and hug me

if I ever lost you it was

only for a moment

it can never be

like yesterday

never again the same story

it can never be

like yesterday

never that very same glory

come on, come to me and hug me

if I ever lost you it was

only for a moment

Because being happy

for an entire lifetime

would be almost unbearable
