Walzer di gomma [English translation]

Youth runs and never comes back

Years go by and they never return

Youth's beautiful it goes by and never comes back

When I find myself in this place

I hear people singing

I see women changing their minds

Without being deceived

I bang my head in a sea of rubber

Banging it doesn't hurt

But my hands don't touch anything

I just feel them sink

When I find myself flying high above the world

I see people running away

I feel that men with guns are coming

I feel that they want to shoot

I bang my head harder against the wall

Banging it makes me bounce back

While rubber, it doesn't make a sound

You just feel it sink

When the night gets darker

After a wonderful sunny day

I feel the breath, the sea's breath

In people dying!

Rubber is white soft fluffy

And my mind sinks in it

I don't remember, what should I

Remember?

I don't remember my

Name

Here it is, the wind is blowing

Now I can hear it whistle

In the leaves I hear it scream

It seems it wants to speak!

Bang bang harder and harder

Banging to not think

Inside the head the brain moves

It can roll now

It rolls rolls rolls rolls rolls here and there!

It rolls rolls rolls rolls rolls here and there!

It rolls rolls rolls rolls rolls here and there!

Youth runs!

It runs and never comes back, years go by and they

Never come back

Youth's beautiful it goes by and never comes back

And this war instead never ends
