Sì, viaggiare [English translation]

My friend, the big genius

he would know what to do

he would know how to fix

makes miracles with a screw-driver

he'd set up the engine rules

increase them a bit

and it would not sound that bad

not so loud

so that you could restart

for sure not flying

but someway travelling

Yes travelling

but dodging the street scratches

without falling in your fears

gently lovely without smoking

tenderly travelling

slowing and than speeding up

with the rythm of life in your heart

gently softly on the engine

and than back travelling

in the night with the headlamps

the way enlighting, to be sure about the heading

fearless, gently gently

tenderly travelling

my friend the big genius

with his greasy hands

would understand much better

how to fix and not throw away

he may clean the filter

by blowing it a bit

than you would part the people

the light from the dark ones

and you may start again

not flying for sure but moving

yes travelling
