Buonanotte all' italia [English translation]

From a song to another

From toll-gates to stations

We made a day

that was still to make

The moon took us

and put us to sleep

or to circle our mouth

to be amazed (though "stupirci" may also have to have something to do with drugs) or to smoke

as if the angels were there

saying that, yeah

Everything's possible

Goodnight to Italy, it has to rest

(after all) there's a great amount of sea watching over/defending it

there's faded/yellow moss in this nativity

that is not changed, nor taken down

and mosquitos/vampires that suck it (Italy) there

and pump in their stomach such a great blood

Goodnight to Italy, that either you make it or die (famous statement by Garibaldi, who considered the creation of the Italian state as a main priority)

or you spend the night wanting to buy it

as if the angels were there

saying that, yeah

Everything's possibile

as if the devils were to say

that no, it's just a delusion

Goodnight to Italy, tha has much to do - it's busy

all the history books don't let it sleep

laid on the world, under a private sky

between St. Peters and Madonnas

between progress and sinn

between a future that is coming, but seems in apnea

and yesterday's scars that don't fade away

form caress to caress

from certainty to amazement

all this beauty without a navigator

as if the angels were there

saying that, yeah

Everything's possible

as if the devils were to say

that no, it's just a delusion

Goodnight to Italy, with scars in its heart

and flebos plugged in by who holds the power

and watches it distracted, like it (Italy) was a wife

or a game in the attic that doesn't appeal to him anymore

and a star lights without any question

it makes you see everything's that is there

Goodnight to Italy, that either you make it or die

or you spend the night wanting to do it/her (in a sexual way)
