Piove [English translation]

It's raining

On the mountains and on the stairs

On petals and words

On my broken heart that beats

It's raining on the poor soldiers

On abandoned fields and my city

It's raining

And as I watch the sea,

I recall the words

You left me in writing

I try

A little bit to forget

In fact, I look at the sea and don't think about it anymore

August now seems far away

But I'm close

To where we met

Simply dressed in a simple way

You've become an accomplice and I still can't forget you

It's raining,

Now, just like before, I'm in my kitchen

I prepare some fish

It cooks slowly in the sauce

And drowns at the same time

And I can't think about it anymore

August is still in my senses

But how do you feel

Do you still love me

An index of a simple life

You've become an accomplice but you do not trust anymore

Who knows where you are now

Where is all the sex

The heat, the sweat

I wonder if you still think of the sea

The warmth to die for

You don't feel anymore

I wonder if it's still our August

Even if the sun is shining

Or maybe then it rains

I wonder if the frustration

Becomes more of an experience

And then it stops raining

It's raining

On the benches of the school

On every word that I can't say

I try to forget a little

In fact, I look at the sea

And don't think about it anymore
