Ulisse coperto di sale [English translation]

I see the painted rooms

all of the windows shut open

there ain't snow, there's the sun,

there ain't fog, there's the sky!

All has disappeared, all has changed

while I come back from a past of mine

all is alike, surreal

I'm Ulysses covered in salt!

It's true that life is always a long, long return

Listen I'm not afraid of feelings

so then take a look, I'm here,

I unlocked easy with a key

as I used to

I left my luggage in the doorway

I left my luggage in the doorway

I looked around before shouting, shouting

I'm not afraid, I'm telling you

that I came back to find, find

my strenght

inside this house

like Ulysses coming back from the sea

like Ulysses coming back from the sea.

A handful of white lime

on my room walls

a yellowish libeccio sky

a brilliant child's eye!

I drag the sun right into my room

fire cart running onto my heart

because every day is sand and a frenzy

and hours aren't always the same!

I want to tell you

don't waste your years like an empty drawer,

listen

even youth isn't scared of love

and never, never,never rip out any feelings from their own hearts

I look at you

your strenght is a shadow of light

your strenght is a shadow of light

The hand plunged in the wind....

a hot breeze, those hours of ours are yelling

squeezed in a fist,

stones wear out, but life doesn't

the day is alike to a wounded hand

I'm Ulysses on his return

Ulysses covered in salt!

Ulysses at the dawn of the day!
