Musica Leggerissima [English translation]

If it were an orchestra to speak for us

It would be easier to sing a farewell

Becoming adults would be a crescendo

Of violins and troubles

The drums announce a storm1

The conductor went away

Put on a bit of easy-listening music, because I feel like [feel the need for] nothing

Rather, super-easy-listening

Words without mystery, allegre, ma non troppo2

Put on a bit of easy-listening music in the deafening silence

So we don't fall into the black hole

That's on the verge of approaching us, approaching us

More or less

If a concert were enough to birth a flower

Between palaces destroyed by enemy bombs

In the name of a God

That doesn't come outside with a storm

The conductor went away

Put on a bit of easy-listening music, because I feel like [feel the need for] nothing

Rather, super-easy-listening

Words without mystery, allegre, ma non troppo

Put on a bit of easy-listening music in the deafening silence

So we don't fall into the black hole

That's on the verge of approaching us, approaching us

It stays in the background inside the supermarkets

The soldiers sing it, the alcoholic kids

The progressive priests, you hear it in the sunlit neighbourhoods

That resonates lightly

It lurks in thoughts in the gym

It keeps a party alive, even a shitty one

Think again about your life, about the things you left

To fall into the space of your animal indifference

Put on a bit of easy-listening music, because I feel like [feel the need for] nothing

Rather, super-easy-listening

Words without mystery, allegre, ma non troppo

Put on a bit of easy-listening music

So we don't fall into the black hole

That's on the verge of approaching us, approaching us

More or less
