Guardare giù [English translation]

Maybe I've never understood

if your thing is merely a fear of risks.

If eating tears with bread

makes you feel bad and you no longer want,

you no longer want

To walk on the streets

with the lampposts lit inside our hearts,

to breathe dust and tar,

and hurt each other, no longer speaking.

Maybe I'll think a bit of us with your 'dunno's'.

I won't run out of oxygen because you don't know that

I'm also capable of staying

with my legs hanging and looking down

even if I later feel vertigo because of you.

And look, I don't care, care, care

about staying on a still rope and looking down.

I would also be capable of turning back

time and trying to readjust again

all the rusted engines

that have been broken for a while, broken for a while.

I'll walk two thousand metres over the sea

balancing myself on this unstable rope

and I'm afraid of falling and hurting myself but you don't know that

I'm also capable of staying

with my legs hanging and looking down

even if I later feel vertigo because of you.

And look, I don't care, care, care

about staying on a still rope and looking down.

Great, they pass

and change, the seasons in the Antarctic

if we then graze each other for a moment.

And I'll find myself two thousand metres

over the sea balancing myself

on this unstable rope

and I'm afraid of falling and hurting myself

but... you don't know that

I'm also capable of staying

with my legs hanging and looking down

even if I later feel vertigo because of you.

And look, I don't care, care, care

about staying on a still rope and looking down.
