È non è [English translation]

It is a playful passion,

A positive feeling,

A look and a thought

That doesn't rest.

It's the life that is happening,

It's the cure of the time,

It's a big chance

It isn't a challenge,

It isn't a revenge,

It isn't the pretence to be better,

The victory isn't the applause of the world,

Of what happens, a deep meaning

It's the thread of a kite,

A fine balance,

It isn't "what", but "how",

It's a matter of style,

It belongs neither to many nor to few people,

But only to some,

It's a conquest, a necessity

It isn't the goal of a mission,

But neither is for fun,

It's not like "you care",

It's not like "it's the same",

It isn't growing old by changing the channel,

Having to grow old isn't an obligation

Hearing and paying attention,

Getting drunk with love,

It's an obsession,

It's the job I live

And the ink clinging

To this sheet of paper,

It's my attempt

At being worthy of all this
