Lyrics

Poi le cose presero un’altra piega
Rigoni comprò a credito del materiale rubato
Non pagò
E non credo avesse intenzione di farlo
Piombarono di notte a casa i creditori
Ubriachi fradici
Sfondarono la porta d’ingresso a calci
E lo massacrarono di botte
Perse del sangue
L’uso della mandibola per qualche giorno
E per un paio di settimane
La voglia di vivere
Ma quell’estate era stata formidabile
Eravamo al massimo della forma
Io e Leo avevamo portato a casa una cassa di champagne
Trovata in qualche angolo durante lo sgombero di una cantina
Bottiglie già scadute
Che andavano alla testa appena dopo due sorsi
Passavamo i pomeriggi in cucina
Il sudore ci colava addosso
Rigoni teneva banco
Le guance infuocate
Eravamo la cornice di un romanzo medievale
Noi
Gli eletti
Riuniti in una casa che cadeva a pezzi
Immersi nel silenzio dei pomeriggi d’agosto
E fuori
Fuori la peste

Lyrics translation

Then things took another turn
Rigoni bought on credit of the stolen material
He didn't pay.
And I don't think he was going to do that.
The creditors came home at night
Wet drunks
They kicked through the front door
And they beat him to death
Lost blood
The use of the jaw for a few days
And for a couple of weeks
The desire to live
But that summer had been terrific
We were at our best
Leo and I had brought home a case of champagne.
Found in some corner during the clearing of a cellar
Expired bottles
That went to the head just after two sips
We spent our afternoons in the kitchen
The sweat was pouring down on us.
Rigoni held bench
Fiery cheeks
We were the frame of a medieval novel
We
Chosen
Gathered in a house falling apart
Immersed in the silence of August afternoons
And out
Out the plague
