In mezzo alla città [English translation]
In mezzo alla città [English translation]
you
Streets with grey houses because of the dirty snow
you leave
you
it's eight o'clock , Standa has already closed and my bed
says "goodbye" to you
I am getting lonelier evey day
and around my city
[there are] the ties made of silk of the poor people that live
inside a subway.
And in the morning you'll think
between the coffee and your reality
that is strange to live with him
right in the middle of the city.
you
a night-gown, Crete wines, records
the things you gave me
of Leonard Cohen (me)
my songs, my comedies
the things I gave you
of Charlott
What will you do tonight
a light will go off
and the cold, the lights
the anger, the fog, the love
that goes away.
And in the morning you'll think
between the coffee and your reality
that is strange to live with him
right in the middle of the city.
