Nel tempo in cui sono tenuto a restare [English translation]

Somebody get up from this table

Courage to spare and prepositions

Move the silence by two semitones

To invest in flood defences

Every wrongdoing turns the street into a ravine

Paper, poetry once, now rolled into a ball

A newspaper left for us to shelter from the cold

On the railway platform

For as long as I have to stay

I'd be creating waves 1 different from the ones the sea does

For as long as I have to stay

I'd be allowing for the most important instinct

For as long as I have to stay

I won't be finding myself because it'd hurt

For as long as I have to stay

I'll be making efforts but trying to love

Coming back home from a little journey

That I made just to be coming back

I saw ugly men kissing beautifully

Always striving after the Sun

Bearing the burden of this year

(For as long as I have to stay)

Until the next real opportunity

(For as long as I have to stay)

In the eyes of a Christ grown old

(For as long as I have to stay)

The world's end is the solution

For as long as I have to stay

I'd be creating waves 2 different from the ones the sea does

For as long as I have to stay

I'd be allowing for the most important instinct

For as long as I have to stay

I won't be finding myself because it'd hurt

For as long as I have to stay

I'll acknowledge it isn't feasible

For as long as I have to stay

Let Beauty not be surreal

For as long as I have to stay

What you stir up becomes vital

For as long as I have to stay

I'll be making efforts but trying to love

For as long as I have to stay

And then...

(Point is that I do need, need, need you)

And then...

(Point is that I do need, need, need you)

Because for as long as I have to stay

I could be even learning to change my ways

For as long as I have to stay

I'd eventually let you behind the wheel

For as long as I have to stay

I'd be creating waves 2 different from the ones the sea does

For as long as I have to stay

I'd be allowing for the most important instinct

For as long as I have to stay

I won't be finding myself because it'd hurt

For as long as I have to stay

I'll acknowledge it isn't feasible

For as long as I have to stay

I couldn't buy richness

For as long as I have to stay

I'd start off from a major chord 3

For as long as I have to stay

I'll be making efforts but trying to love

For as long as I have to stay

For as long as I have to stay

For as long as I have to stay

It won't be time to matter

1. No allusion to the idea of making waves metaphorically 2. a. b. Ut supra3. Double entendre: I'd start off by striking a huger bargain
