Terraferma [English translation]

It’s a song a bit different

from which you expected, but

everybody knows that any chance you don't take is lost forever,

If I don’t write it, it will never come back.

It will continue to fly around

Till it will find someone like me,

But not so shy and insecure

Someone who can tell and write

The emotions and the moments,

The immense joys and the torments

Which, in other case, are not remembered (they run away),

So I’ll write it for you (right now).

So that our poetry will not be lost,

Our energy, immense and absolute

And the silent complicity

Through the world’s screaming.

Mainland through ocean’s waves,

Solution and care for ever ill.

Mainland, the one which sailormen follow

And which the Stars made me find...

When I was lost in the deep sea.

I will write continuously

Since when I will have no more rhymes

Without forgiving anything,

At the point that you will have to stop me

To tell some things,

maybe it’s better if I remove some of them,

Sometimes a phrase is enough...

The mute looks often talk

More than words yelled to the wind

In the enthusiasm of the moment

But they don’t resist to the wind (they fly)

While on a paper they live (they rest).

So that our poetry will not be lost,

Our energy, immense and absolute

And the silent complicity

Through the world’s screaming.

Mainland through ocean’s waves,

Solution and care for ever ill.

Mainland, the one which sailormen follow

And which the Stars made me find...

When I was lost in the deep sea.

Mainland through ocean’s waves,

Solution and care for ever ill.

Mainland, the one which sailormen follow

And which the Stars made me find...

When I was lost in the deep sea.

I will write continuously

Since when I will have no more rhymes

Without forgiving anything,

At the point that you will have to stop me.
