Lyrics
Running against the grain
Running through the rain
Ho attraversato la vita inferiore
Seguendo linee per moto contrario
Sfruttando per le mie vele
Flussi di controcorrente
Cercando sempre le cause
Che mi hanno insegnato ad andare
Con disciplina anche contro le mie inclinazioni
From time to time
I remember your face so near to me
Marmoree scogliere lontane
Spezzano ogni forza in mille spume
L’odore domina sovrano il profumo delle cose
In verità non mi sono mai legato e adesso
La mia vita fugge in diagonale
Ritorna prepotentemente un desiderio morale
La mia vita cerca fughe in diagonale
Per accelerare le calde influenze del sole
I remember your face so near to me
Osservo la mia condizione
Il mio prezioso ed alterno passato
Le mie bizzarre imprese
Sono mercurio colorato
Un salto oltre ciò che abbassa
Pinna in altro mare e intanto
La mia vita fugge in diagonale
Ritorna prepotentemente un desiderio morale
La mia vita cerca fughe in diagonale
Per accelerare le calde influenze del sole
Never look in backward
My heart is beating with you
Running to tomorrow
And my wild heart is beating
As much but never broken
Indipendente la mia vita fugge
Yeah my wild heart is beating
As much but never broken
Indipendente la mia vita fugge
Listen to tomorrow
Lyrics translation
Running against the grain
Running through the rain
I crossed the lower life
Following lines for reverse motion
Taking advantage of my sails
Countercurrent flows
Always looking for causes
Who taught me to go
With discipline even against my inclinations
From time to time
I remember your face so near to me
Marbled distant cliffs
They break every force into a thousand foams
The smell dominates the scent of things
I've never really tied myself up and now
My life flees diagonally
Return a moral desire overbearing
My life tries to escape diagonally
To accelerate the warm influences of the sun
I remember your face so near to me
I observe my condition
My precious and alternate past
My bizarre undertakings
They are colored Mercury
A leap beyond what lowers
Fin in another sea and meanwhile
My life flees diagonally
Return a moral desire overbearing
My life tries to escape diagonally
To accelerate the warm influences of the sun
Never look in backward
My heart is beating with you
Running to tomorrow
And my wild heart is beating
As much but never broken
Independent my life escapes
Yeah my wild heart is beating
As much but never broken
Independent my life escapes
Listen to tomorrow
