Pensieri e parole [English translation]

What do you know about a child who used to steal

And who only played in the dark

And about the sun piercing the floors, what do you know

And about a world made of a single road

And about a suburban cinema

What do you know about our railroad, what do you know.

You know me, my loyalty

You know that I would die for honesty.

You know me, you know my name

You alone know if I do believe in God.

What do you know about a wheat field

The poetry of a secular love

The fear of being held by the hand, what do you know

(My love)

What do you know of a clean-cut kid

(It's a rock now)

Who showed all of his troubles:

(And he challenges the time, and the wind, and you know)

My sincerity to steal her virginity

Yes you do know

(What do you know.)

In front of me I can see another life

Ours is already over

And new nights, and new days

Darling, will you go or will you come back to me.

In front of you, is there me

(Give me strength my Lord)

Or another man?

(I'm asking for forgiveness now)

And new nights, and new days

Darling don't hate me if you can.

You know me

(What do you know about that trip to England)

What I'd give

(What do you know about an Israelite love)

To make her find my eyes again in those of someone else

(About two closed eyes who told me you liar, it's over)

What do you know about a boy who loved you

Who talked while knowing nothing

But whatever he said, who knows why

(Yes you do know)

Has become true.

In front of me I can see another life

Ours is already over

And new nights, and new days

Darling, will you go or will you come back to me.

In front of you, is there me

(Give me strength my Lord)

Or another man?

(I'm asking for forgiveness now)

And new nights, and new days

Darling don't hate me if you can.
