Se imparassimo [English translation]

You've got the fastest car not to move at all,

The diet for those who crave for immortality,

A thousand locks for your flatblock,

A psychoanalyst not to get insane

A hobby, your rules, a healthy life,

Yoga, your shopping, the weekend,

A dog that obeys only to its master

And the abs you were dreaming of while watching the TV

You've got a two-century mortgage for a single room

And you would sell your soul for a holiday,

You're in a rush to arrive, without knowing where,

Life kills your life without leaving any evidence

And your face is the same, yet so different,

Because you're back at peace from a lost war,

You wonder if there's a place where you can start over,

It would be so easy

If we learnt

That words are not enough,

That opportunities might get lost

And never come back, you know,

If we understood

Why the silence shuts us down,

Why idiots rule

And keep on telling us to look, not to touch

I was dust at the mercy of the wind,

Letting the rain dig inside of me,

I came as a thief to sack your heart,

Life runs through our fingers and doesn't make a noise

And while the Sun is going to sink deep down,

You get far on a memory's path

And if your love is where I can start over

It would be so easy

If we learnt

That words are not enough,

That opportunities might get lost

And never come back, you know,

If we understood

Why the silence shuts us down,

Why idiots rule

And keep on telling us to look, not to touch

Hold my hands I've got, too many lives to forget,

Because I was the slave and the master of a hallucination,

I have never wanted to be normal at all,

To laugh on command and to love the stick's shadow

(×2) If we learnt

That words are not enough,

That opportunities might get lost

And never come back, you know,

If we understood

Why the silence shuts us down,

Why idiots rule

And keep on telling us to look, not to touch
