Ottobre [English translation]

The evening is cool now

But every now and then I hear a mosquito

Fucking mosquitoes

They're more useless than the democratic Christians

My son started speaking

And I love what he says

Even though I don't understand him

But he doesn't understand me as well

And on TV I keep seeing

The same identical and usual faces

As if they had understood

That we're not feeling well

You just woke up

And opened the window

Look at me and say 'Dear, it's here

It's here'

October, October

With its shades of gray that I love

For me it seems that a new year starts in October

But why isn't the turn of the year in October?

I look at myself and I notice

That I lost some pounds

Fucking less pounds!

I think of the health that is passing

You smile and tell me

'You're fine, don't you worry

You should only be calmer'

But how can I be calmer in this world down here?

And when I hold you, I feel

That your dresses already know the winter

I think of the back to school season

And of our town's celebration

So I kiss you again

And everything comes back here

And you repeat 'Yes

It's beautiful, it's beautiful'

October, October

With its shades of gray that I love

For me it seems that everything is brighter in October

Everything is sweet in October, even the bittersweet

October, October

With its shades of gray that I love

For me it seems that a new year starts in October

But why isn't the turn of the year in October?

But why isn't October the whole year?
