Migliora La Tua Memoria Con Un Click [English translation]

"Hello! If you've clicked on this file

then surely you have memory lapses.

I wrote it because I couldn't access my email inbox and I thought:

I don't remember passwords, let alone my history!

In a few years I will forget who I am

what I think, what I like, what I despise.

Indeed here you are, like the Memento guy

Ok, listen to this piece and the rhymes inside of it."

Don't be afraid of getting old

the age you display attracts, see Persepolis

Don't be afraid of singing offkey

unlike popstars, bells play for centuries

In a world where everyone is competing

don't ride, get on Pegasus' back

and remember to honour the silence

pretending to leave a flower on Marcel Marceau's tomb

You're losing it, it's the way it is

but your memory is already improving with a click

You're losing it, it's the way it is

but your memory is already improving with a click

Don't praise modernity, it's plastic

in the '30s, modernity was the swastika

It's tense in here, you're not breathing, you're wheezing

it's a summer cruise, but in the hold of an Admiral

Travel in the car, on a monocycle, on a gilder

not in your room with the finger on the atlas

Souls ache because they don't ever go anywhere

and then, when they could, no one does.

At night, turn your phone off

It's a device and it's stealing your smile (*)

Respect the mass, but your bodily one

not the one blaming everything on politicians and "it's a shame!!"

Accepting pain to appreciate life

is like swallowing an ember to appreciate pizza

Ridiculous, thinking about those who have it worse doesn't make it any better

unless you're cynical

You're losing it, it's the way it is

but your memory is already improving with a click

You're losing it, it's the way it is

but your memory is already improving with a click

Remember: your sixth sense is that of guilt

and everyone takes advantage of it, at least once

so it's okay to open up with others

but at least put a door at the entrance.

Defend yourself and defend culture, not by taking to the streets

but by taking the street to go to the cinema or the theatre

When the Odeon closed down (*) everyone complained

yeah, but no one ever went there in a whole year.

It's not true that your degree is useless

what's useless is debating about glutes in thongs

Not everyone loves you, they are wary of the icon

Become a saint and you'll be ad-Myra-ble, like St. Nicholas

Listen to what you like, not what's liked by who's liked

Forget about Karma, everyone got away with it

If you're elected mayor be thankful, inaugurate Kiss Square

and see who's startled.

You're losing it, it's the way it is

but your memory is already improving with a click

You're losing it, it's the way it is

but your memory is already improving with a click

You're losing it, it's the way it is

but your memory is already improving with a click

You're losing it, it's the way it is

but your memory is already improving with a click

Nothing weird if, at tea time

I don't think at all about the plate of consommé turkey breast

that I put in the fridge yesterday at lunchtime.

Nothing weird if, to avoid serious misunderstandings

I put up a sign - I don't deny it -

of eloquent verses on the white door

"Remember about the plate of consommé turkey breast".

Nothing weird if only now

they tell me, light black on yellow, that in the fridge

there's still, untouched, the plate of consommé turkey breast.

Nothing weird if, when I close the fridge door

it's not only its inner light that dims on the food and fades away

but mine too - slowly on the brain.
