Un uomo solo [English translation]

Stepping into the shoes of the hero,

just to never accept

the compromise or surrender,

is gonna do nothing, given that,

in spite of everything, deep inside you,

solitude is always there.

You, like any other man, sooner or later,

you will feel the need to talk

about what you think and what you do.

And you end up talking about this to someone who

doesn't even care about who you are

and doesn't feel like listening,

and so you feel like dying.

I know,

but,

how can a lonely man

not make mistakes as I do,

when he gives everything

and receives nothing, nothing in exchange?!

But,

how can a lonely man

not to be in my situation,

when he listens to himself speaking and doesn't understand?

And you end up bonding with someone who

doesn't even care about who you are

and thinks about everything but love,

and so you feel like dying.

I know,

but,

how can a lonely man

not make mistakes as I do,

when he keeps giving

and receiving nothing, nothing in exchange?!

But,

how can a lonely man

not make mistakes with you, as well,

just not to be alone and get crazy?
