Lyrics

Dunque: quel giorno la catturai al volo
discendente dall’alto come un soffio ultraterreno
e mi circonfuse di luce in un baleno,
come un santo, diosanto!, ma dalla testa al suolo.
E mi sembrava di sublimare
o almeno di uscirmene fuori dal normale.
Era davvero come dileguare:
collegai la spina e tutto diventò speciale.
Ero dentro la mia realtà
con un senso eccitato di morbida libertà
Ero dentro la mia realtà
e la vita nei pressi era solamente un’entità
Dunque quel giorno mi detti da fare:
sentivo che dovevo meritare quel dono.
Scrissi e riscrissi mirando all’unisono
che mi intonasse con il tremito sonoro
che mi faceva come sublimare
o almeno uscire fuori dal normale;
che era davvero come un tintinnare
di scosse gradite e dal ritmo un po' speciale.
Ero dentro la mia realtà
con un senso eccitato di morbida libertà.
Ero dentro la mia realtà
e la vita nei pressi era solamente un’entità.
Ma il giorno seguente non mi piaceva niente,
tranne una frase giocosa ed eloquente.
Diceva: «il lavoro debilita l’uomo»
«il lavoro debilita l’uomo»

Lyrics translation

So: that day I caught her on the fly
descending from above like an otherworldly breath
and it circled me with light in a flash,
like a saint, godsend! but head to the ground.
And it seemed to sublimate
or at least get out of it.
It was really like disappearing:
I connected the plug and everything became special.
I was inside my reality
with an excited sense of soft freedom
I was inside my reality
and life nearby was just an entity
So that day you told me to do:
I felt I deserved that gift.
I wrote and rewritten aiming in unison
to intone me with the sound tremor
that made me how to sublimate
or at least get out of the ordinary;
that was really like a clink
of Pleasant shocks and a bit' special rhythm.
I was inside my reality
with an excited sense of soft freedom.
I was inside my reality
and life nearby was just an entity.
But the next day I did not like anything,
except for a playful and eloquent phrase.
He said, " work weakens man»
"work weakens man»
