Description
The voice sounds like it's coming from afar, thru the evening light and the smell of salt. The words are not so much spoken as exhaled, like a confession that has long become a quiet habit of being ill. Every "still" feels tired, but also the tenderness that won't let go, even when the mind has already let go. Music flows like an old, unaddressed letter: the lines are a bit faded, the ink has blurred, but between them lives the memory of a person who is no longer expected, yet is still remembered. And it makes it feel a little warmer, as if the heart whispers to itself: "it may hurt, but it's beautiful."
Lyrics and translation
Original
Quando tu solo te ne vai, tu solo te ne torne.
Nun t'ha 'na nasconnere c'ossaje, t'aggia e nun t'addorme.
'Na vita nun è abbastanza pe te conoscere in fondo, visto ca tu nu pemetteme e nisciuno t'ô fa.
Essere nun è difficile pecchè sapemme si ce vene detto 'na bugia oppure 'na verità. 'Na notte ca nun schiara e 'sti pensiere se ne fujeno.
'N'abbraccio bruce 'e mmane, staje luntano da 'nu fuore mio.
E certe vote no, nun è accussì difficile.
A sta 'nzieme a te equivale a vivere e a m'accidere.
T'annammure pecchè nun vuò sta tu sola.
Ma staje sola pure si staje cu'mmé.
Comme vuò ca te voglio bene, si ogne abbraccio è 'na catena all'anema.
Cancella tutto ca stu munno nun esiste, però esiste ancora tu.
E t'aggio scritto l'ultima poesia.
T'annammure pecchè nun vuò sta cu'tté.
Crescemmo maj pecchè crescemmo troppo ampresso.
'O mare è sempe 'o stesso, però tu 'o guarde diverso. Simmo 'e chiude 'o manicomio cchiù 'e 'na volta.
Nu vide che è fernuto, 'na canzone senza note.
E nun passiamo cchiù io e te.
E nun merito cchiù pecchè.
Te ne sii chiuto luntano a me, io luntano a te, nun voglio stare pe' nu juorno e cchiù.
Dalla fine nun è overo, ca nnè morimo, nè ce scegliemo a chi purtà cu'nuje 'int'a n'ata vita. Facemo ammore ma è 'na guerra, o ce assumije.
Te cunuscevo prima 'e te cunoscere pe finta.
Ma nun fa niente, no, nun è accussì difficile.
A sta 'nzieme a te equivale a vivere e a m'accidere.
T'annammure pecchè nun vuò sta tu sola.
Ma staje sola pure si staje cu'mmé.
Comme vuò ca te voglio bene, si ogne abbraccio è 'na catena all'anema.
Cancella tutto ca stu munno nun esiste, però esiste ancora tu.
E io ti ho scritto l'ultima poesia perché pensavo che così non ti scordavi me, ma io scordavo te.
Una finta verità che mi brucia ma guarisce il cuore.
T'annammure pecchè nun vuò sta tu sola.
Ma staje sola pure si staje cu'mmé.
Comme vuò ca te voglio bene, si ogne abbraccio è 'na catena all'anema.
Cancella tutto ca stu munno nun esiste, però esiste ancora tu.
E t'aggio scritto l'ultima poesia.
T'annammure pecchè nun vuò sta cu'tté.
English translation
When you alone leave, you alone return.
He doesn't have to hide your bones, he sleeps with you and he doesn't put you to sleep.
'Life is not enough for you to know in depth, seeing as you can't let me and no one will do it for you.
Being isn't difficult because you know whether you're told a lie or a truth. 'It doesn't light up at night and these thoughts go away.
'I hug Bruce and Emma, stay away from me.
And sometimes no, it's not that difficult.
Being with you is equivalent to living and killing myself.
Don't worry because you don't want to be alone.
But stay alone even if you stay alone.
As much as I want, I love you, yes every hug is a chain to the heart.
Delete everything because this world doesn't exist, but you still exist.
And I wrote you the last poem.
Don't worry because you don't want this cu'tté.
We grew but because we grew too close together.
The sea is always the same, but you look different. Simmo 'and close 'o mental hospital cchiù 'and 'na time.
I didn't see that it was fervent, 'a song without notes.
And we don't get through anymore, you and I.
And I don't deserve much credit.
Stay away from me, I'll stay away from you, I don't want to stay for another day or night.
From the end it's not over, we don't die, nor do we choose who purtà cu'nuje 'int'ata life. Let's make love but it's a war, or you'll hire us.
I knew you before and I knew you to pretend.
But it doesn't matter, no, it's not that difficult.
Being with you is equivalent to living and killing myself.
Don't worry because you don't want to be alone.
But stay alone even if you stay alone.
As much as I want, I love you, yes every hug is a chain to the heart.
Delete everything because this world doesn't exist, but you still exist.
And I wrote you the last poem because I thought that this way you wouldn't forget me, but I would forget you.
A false truth that burns me but heals my heart.
Don't worry because you don't want to be alone.
But stay alone even if you stay alone.
As much as I want, I love you, yes every hug is a chain to the heart.
Delete everything because this world doesn't exist, but you still exist.
And I wrote you the last poem.
Don't worry because you don't want this cu'tté.
