Ascensore Per L'inferno [English translation]

[Achille Lauro:]

You cannot come back from your mistakes

You cannot learn from mistakes, no

I should be born again, as new

Because I lost by mistake what I have

Moods, poets of the human lives

A poem written with a shaky hand, no

What an irony

Things do not change, but we do

Ooh, I wish just because I have nothing

People don't change the world, but the world changes people

Don't stop playing this game

You finish by hating yourself, and then you're finished

The past is the reason of the future

To change myself? I think it's easier to divert a river

I lost friends, a number with two zeros

And I'm not saying what I've seen, I was there

I don't care, I don't care to wish for

I simply don't care having hope

I, who wants everything else, don't care

No, I don't care

I don't care to be alone

I don't care to be alone, no

I don't care, no

No, I don't care

[Coez:]

And I thought I was going up and instead I'm going down

And you don't warn me that inside the mirrors we're already melting

It's an elevator to Hell

It's an elevator to Hell

Tell me what's going to be

Tell me what's going to be

Tell me what's going to be with us

[Achille Lauro:]

I made a thousand miles but I started with a first step

I climbed up this building, but I left from this sidewalk

Losing everything you have for all the things you don't know yet

Building in a life here, losing everything in, like a quarter of an hour

Ooh, this life is fragile, it's a spider web

Hearts of steel linked in chains

These children put to bed without dining

The wind pulls this sailboat over the rocks

Elevator to Hell like Parker's movie

For us Paradise is simply too great

You hate only me, what an irony

People don't change

But she does.

I don't care, I don't care to wish for

I simply don't care having hope

I, who wants everything else, don't care

No, I don't care

I don't care to be alone

I don't care to be alone, no

I don't care, no

No, I don't care

[Coez:]

And I thought I was going up and instead I'm going down

And you don't warn me that inside the mirrors we're already melting

It's an elevator to Hell

It's an elevator to Hell

Tell me what's going to be

Tell me what's going to be

Tell me what's going to be with us

And I thought I was going up and instead I'm going down

And you don't warn me that inside the mirrors we're already melting

It's an elevator to Hell

It's an elevator to Hell

Tell me what's going to be

Tell me what's going to be

Tell me what's going to be with us

[Achille Lauro:]

We wake up one morning

What's going to be with us

One says: „I change my life from today”

But I've never seen it done

From the outside it seems easy

Yes, from the outside it's not the same thing

Sometimes it's easier

To pretend that we don't care.
