Follia

Uomini incapaci di amare.
Donne incapaci di essere amate.

Men incapable to love.
Women unable to be loved.

Here where the sea shines

and the wind is strong

on an old terrace

infront of the Gulf of Sorriento(province of Naples if I'm not mistaken)

a man hugs a girl

after he has cried

Afterwards he clears his voice

and begins again to sing

 

I care too much for u(Te voglio bene assaje)

but, u know, a great deal

at his point it has become a chain(e' una catena ormai)

that melts the blood in the *

veins u know

 

He saw the lights in the middle of the sea

he thought of the nights in America**

but they where only the lights from the boats***

and the white trace of a propeller

He felt the pain of music

got up from the piano

But when he saw the moon

that was coming out from behind a cloud

he thought that even death was sweeter

He looked into the eyes of the girl

those eyes green like the sea

then suddenly a tear came out

and he believed he was soffocating

 

I care too much for u(Te voglio bene assaje)

but, u know, a great deal

at his point it has become a chain(e' una catena ormai)

that melts the blood in the

veins u know

 

Force of the lirica where****

every drama is a false(ogni drama e' un falso)

which with a little bit of make-up(che con un po' di trucco)

and with the art of mimic

u can become someone else

but 2 eyes that are watching u(ma due occhi che di guardano)

so close and different(eyes of different people)(cosi' vicini e vari)

they make you forget the words(ti fan scordare le parole)

i get mixed up

so everything becomes small

even the nights there in America

u turn and see your own life(ti volti e vedi la tua vita)

like the trace of a propeller

but its the life that ends

But he didn't think that much

the opposite he was feeling already happy

and started again to sing

 

I care too much for u(Te voglio bene assaje)

but, u know, a great deal

at his point it has become a chain(e' una catena ormai)

that melts the blood in the

veins u know
