Sei tu la mia città [English translation]

The road gets tangled in your hair

the street lights explode like headlights in your eyes

your heart tastes like asphalt and prayers.

The road gets tangled in your hair

the street lights explode like headlights in your eyes

your heart tastes like asphalt and prayers

and cars that passing through no longer watch

and let your hair down in the mud if you can.

Retie once more your doubts to my shoes

if then you don’t believe me

if you don’t believe me.

My flaws still hold up the sky

the hands fits together forming skyscrapers

glue your apologies well so you will not fall

sharp nails withstand cutting crystals

dry my thoughts with the breath of the last trees,

light me up at night the signs of the most beautiful memories,

grant me peace and trains with no more wagons

and point to my eyes like a tram without headlights

run me down with light if you don’t see me on my feet.

You are my town

You are my town

That scares me in the night

And lulls me to sleep in the morning

and reminds me that I’m many people,

one among many people,

when you want to feel

the thrill of the others on you

because you are the town

you are my town

The houses are opening their legs to foreigners

and the churches are women's mouths with rifles hanging ;

the factories are old Indians sending signals

the smoke carries away the last leftovers.

Conceal me from the others, your teeth are so comfortable

and spit me out when you’d hang your clothes

and wash me in the river if you still want to wear me

and roll up my sleeves when it's raining from the walls

and blow me on the world almost as if I were wind.

You are my town

You are my town

that scares me in the night

and lulls me to sleep in the morning

and that reminds me I’m many people,

I'm one among many people

when you want to feel

the thrill of the others on you

because you are the town

you are my town

which gets coloured in the night

while the alleys are black

and only then you just remember your very nature

and you need me at least a little

in order to feel less alone,

in order to feel like a town

that still keeps switched on.

You are my town

you are my town

that scares me in the night

and makes me sleep in the morning

and that reminds me that I’m many people,

one among many people

when you want to feel

the thrill of the others on you

because you are the town

you are my town

which gets coloured in the night

while the alleys are black

and only then you just remember your very nature

and you need me at least a little

in order to feel less alone,

in order to feel like a town

that still keeps switched on.

You are my town

you are my town

you are my town.
