The Train [Il Treno] lyrics

And the train is heading forwards, watch it spring to motion.

Is following this lines, with just a single notion.

And people stand and wave, that’s physical emotion.

The least of little time, I can’t say what you’re feeling.

You hear the whistle whining, you may wonder why you’re living.

They like to look behind you, but the distance is deceiving.

Now, the train is reaching forward, that the way moves direct you.

Surrounding by the noises, that at the end they might protect you.

Within yourself a boy, a young imagination,

when school is just a toy, and girls are just exploitation.

When love says again to play and is always someone older.

You tell yourself you’re not to blame, next year I will much bolder.

Now, the train is reaching onwards, see the jungle by the window.

The world is an open hand, for eyes that never ending.

So much it could be doing, so many shores are waiting,

and you feel you got the time, is ready for the taking.

But never counting cost, no matter what you’re breaking.

You’ll blame it by this life, the sun revolves around you.

But the train is racing forwards, the train is going to break you.

No matter what you do, its motion overtakes you.

The only way it knows, it never means to hurt you.

But one way is the right way, and its way is the right way for you…

Now the train is racing forwards, your life is passing by you.

No matter how you try, still it will deny you.

So take this time to see, a finer look about you.

I see you don’t believe, that you can change direction.

I see you can conceive, the best solid election,

and one way is the right way, and its way is the right way…

But the train is racing forwards, the train is going to break you.

No matter what you do, its motion overtakes you.

Na na na na na…
