Tu, forse non essenzialmente tu [English translation]

You, maybe not essentially you,

another one but it's better if it was you,

you dug into me, and friendship is there.

Me, I who have a need to tell stories,

the necessity of living is still in me.

And I am persuaded since many a moon

of the irreversible uselessness of time

I wake up at nine and it's definitely you.

And you before you even see your mother and you're already born

and minutes chasing each other without coexistence

you wake me up and it's definitely you

Maybe not essentially you

And the night, confidentially blue

looking for the soul...

You, maybe not essentially you

another one but it's better if it was you.

And I go visit the Baron, but I don't play checkers

and I drink canned light bear

I don't give a damn. and I don't think of you

I would always be in need of a lift

but I am familiar with the connections of the nightline 60

It's the one I always take to come to you

Maybe not essentially you

And the night, confidentially blue

looking for the soul...
