Tu, forse non essenzialmente tu [English translation]

You, maybe not essentially you

another one, but it would be better if she was you

you dug into me and friendship is there

me, that I'm in need of expressing

the necessity of living that remains in me

And I'm by now convinced since many moons ago

of the irreversible uselessness of time

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

we didn't even have the time to see our mother that we were already born

and the minutes chasing each other without coexistence

you wake me up and you are decisively you

Maybe not essentially you

And the night, confidentially blue

looking for the soul

You, maybe not essentially you

another one but it would be better if she was you

And I go to the Baron but I don't play checkers

I drink canned light beer

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

I would always be in need of a ride

but I know the connections of the night bus 60

I always take it to come over to you

You, maybe not essentially you

And the night, confidentially blue

looking for the soul
