Svegliami [English translation]

Dissectors of souls play with scalpels

smug majorities look for slys and fools,

stir up the villains, incite the brutes,

and exhasperate the envious

Meanwhile, Pope Paul VI is no more,

Berlinguer has died,

somebody has AIDS,

somebody has a pre-

somebody has a post-, without having ever been anything

Anything!

I look for the qualities that have no returns

in this human race

that adores watches

and doesn't know time

I look for the worthless qualities

in this middle age

Is retching up Earth,

and the sky is overturned with its stars

and there's no escape,

no escape, ever

ever!

Wake me up, wake me up

I'm lost, I'm confused,

you let me in, embrace me,

devote your night to me,

and the next night,

and one still more

devote to me your days

devote to me your nights

Today, tomorrow and again

Hold me tight, cover me, envelop me,

With warm breath warm me up, cool me with saliva

I'd want to die now.

Meanwhile, Pope Paul VI is no more,

Berlinguer has died,

somebody has AIDS,

somebody has a pre-

somebody has a post-, without having ever been anything

And Earth shakes and vomits,

the sky is overturned with its stars,

and there's no escape,

and there's no escape, ever, ever

...

...

Come, come, come.
