Se sai, se puoi, se vuoi [English translation]

You asked me for more time and I left you for too long

I want to go to the bottom and the bottom has already been reached

Slow and intrusive, your silence envelops me

It makes the air I breathe with you bitter

Alone,

that day you were trembling

In that room, yes

It was when I screamed

to tell you about us

You said to me

"I have nothing left"

It was

to give you some help

And I was like you

I remember the idea

It was clear, it was yours

You asked me

"Let's take a trip"

"Soon

the water

will no longer have a border "

I said, "Look at the sea.

We will go down

towards the ancient lands

of the South"

"People,

in their eyes,

older without age

And by instinct they will have

bold colors

and new intense voices

for you"

Then that observation of mine

which I did not remember

First in your eyes

to have ever seen

As if it were strange,

that which happened next

"What have we done?"

we asked ourselves

If you know,

if you can,

if you want

I ask, explain to me

What is it that still does

violence to us?

Do you understand the meaning or not?

Your voice, your face

To be recognized,

I want them back to me

If you know,

if you can,

if you want

The strange nostalgia

that can destroy us

will disperse...
