Per una vita [English translation]

What was it, did you hear it or not?

But maybe it's only in my head.

Like a rustling, I'll be wrong

It seemed to me (that I've seen) a shadow on the window

On the window

For some time, my right-hand hasn't known

What the left one is doing

The are kids celebrating in the big zoo

Italy hasn't still woken1

All the papers are already talking about it

(I'm hearing them)

Yesterday they executed Lazarus

(I'm abstaining)

To make virtue a necessity

(I give up)

I should sleep

And don't wake up anymore

For a lifetime and a hundred more

But, thinking of it,

I hold my shotgun and stay downwind

I turn on the TV

The same faces, the same poor accent

I curse you and then fall asleep

But from the screen, sir Chapeau

Calls me and wakes me

The artist chef will keep his show

After diet, comes sunshine 2

The experts shall sign

(I'm hearing them)

Only the strongest survive

(But barely)

We'll have a drinking contest

(I give up)

Our hearts up high, and then throwing up

For a lifetime and a hundred more

But, thinking of it,

I hold my shotgun and stay downwind

I turn on the TV

The same faces, the same poor accent

I curse you and then fall asleep

I curse you and then fall asleep

And don't wake up anymore

For a lifetime and a hundred more

But, thinking of it,

I hold my shotgun and stay downwind

I turn on the TV

The same faces, the same poor accent

I curse you and then fall asleep

1. A reference to a line of the Italian national anthem ("l'Italia s'è desta", Italy has woken)2. In the original lyrics, a sort of parody of a famous poem, "La quiete dopo la tempesta"(the calm after the tempest) by Italian poet Giacomo Leopardi
