Sobreviviré [Fiume Azzurro] [English translation]

I have the restlessness of youth

I am frightened, just as you are

And every morning I fall apart when I see

How harsh reality is.

There's no one in this world, oh no

Quite as fragile as I am.

Acrylic hair, leather and high heels

I have make up even in my heart

And, at dusk, the seedy city

Blossoms once again.

There's no one in this world, oh no

Quite as tough as I am.

Ah, ah, ah, ah!

I must survive by lying to myself.

All sulky and silent, I went into that bar

Where an angel told me, as soon as I walked in

"Come and rise like blue smoke.

Stop suffering, my love"

And, torn and bleeding inside

I felt something change in my life.

I will survive

I shall seek a home

Somewhere among the ruins of my loneliness.

Strange paradise

In which you are nowhere to be found

And, even if it's painful, I want freedom

Even if it harms me.

Ah, ah, ah, ah!

I must survive by lying to myself.

All sulky and silent, I went into that bar

Where an angel told me, as soon as I walked in

"Come and rise like blue smoke.

Stop suffering, my love"

And, torn and bleeding inside

I felt something change in my life.

I will survive

I shall seek a home

Somewhere among the ruins of my loneliness.

Strange paradise

In which you are nowhere to be found

And, even if it's painful, I want freedom

Even if it harms me.
