Nuvole barocche [English translation]

Then another day of light

then another of these sunsets

portals, columns and fountains.

You taught me to live

Teach me to leave.

But the sky is all red

of baroque clouds

on the river that washes

under the last sun.

And while breath to breath

pushes the warm wind

whispers another invitation

that tells me to stay.

Then stroking flattery dropouts

then those eyes of green sweetness

One Thousand and One of these promises.

You taught me the dream

I want reality.

And while breath to breath

pushes the warm wind

whispers another invitation

who says you have to love

who says you have to love.
