Lyrics

Se tenti di cucirmi addosso
i pomeriggi, adesso che sono pi lunghi,
adesso che hai la schiena pronta
per tuffarti gi
Vorrei serenamente dirti che ho bisogno di quei
silenzi di collina,
e la tua schiena un’autostrada,
e io non posso pi…
Per non devi dire che hai capito
se non hai capito ancora molto,
passa un volo di rondini, e sai che volerei…
ti ho regalato la mia assenza,
e qualche volta ti ho pensato sottovoce,
e sotto un cielo di polvere,
te ne sei accorta mai…
…Perch io sono un uomo distante,
scusami ma io sono un uomo distante…
E il capo indiano disse: «usciamo!»
e tutti in coro sfilarono le baionette…
scusate ma la mia ha bisogno
di tranquillit…
Per non devi dire che hai capito, se non hai
capito ancora molto,
passa un volo di rondini, e sai che volerei…
…perch io sono un uomo distante,
scusami, ma io sono troppo distante…

Lyrics translation

If you try to sew on me
afternoons, now that they're longer,
now that you've got your back ready
to dive already
I'd like to calmly tell you that I need those
Hill silences,
and your back a highway,
and I can't anymore…
For you do not have to say that you understand
if you have not yet understood much,
pass a flight of Swallows, and you know I'd fly…
I gave you my absence,
and sometimes I thought of you quietly,
and under a sky of dust,
did you ever notice…
... Because I am a distant man,
I'm sorry but I'm a distant man…
And the Indian chief said, " Let's get out!»
and all in chorus paraded bayonets…
sorry but mine needs
of tranquillit…
For you do not have to say that you understand, if you have not
understood still a lot,
pass a flight of Swallows, and you know I'd fly…
... because I am a distant man,
I'm sorry, I'm too far away.…
