Quanno chiove [English translation]

And I hear you when you come down the stairs,

' running, without speaking '

and I see you everyday

when you go to work, laughing

but now you don't laugh anymore.

And so life goes far away

in this manner

and you spare yourself not to die.

And you wait fofr it to rain

the water drenches you and flows away

then the air must be changed.

But afterwards, when it rains

the water drenches you and flows away

then the air must be changed.

It gets darker and the moon speaks

and you dress up to hear,

for you, everything can talk

but only the words still remain to you

and also the shyness to meet you

but someone passes around

turns his glance away and goes away.

And you wait for it to rain

the water drenches you and flows away

then the air must be changed

but afterwards, when it rains

the water drenches you and flows away

then the air must be changed
