Lyrics

Mi rivedo sognante e vibrante nel centro di Roma
a guardar vetrine.
Tra i negozi la gente la fretta dell’ora di punta
tu mi passi accanto.
Non ti accorgi di un uomo che adesso cammina da solo
in questa sera che soffia silenzio e nostalgia
oramai non c' proprio nessuno sulla via.
Camminando per strade deserte nel centro di Roma
mi diverto tanto.
Ci ripenso mi guardo mi sfido la strada e' un mistero
cento lire in cielo da quale parte si va la mia anima nuda come i manichini in vetrina
dove la gente misura soltanto vanit
ma il mestiere di vivere adesso mi salver
e chiss tu dove sei stasera, con chi dividerai la mela
chiss tu cosa fai stasera e con chi scioglierai la vela.
Ma perch© quando un uomo da solo diventa pi№ vero
che strano pensiero in questa notte che va tra i sobborghi di antiche ringhiere i mercati le chiese
si perduto un uomo ma presto rinascer
la mia anima sbatte nei vicoli come un giornale
che un vento ubriaco trascina stanotte chiss dove va ma la voglia di vivere ancora mi salver
ma chiss tu dove sei stasera, con chi dividerai la mela
chiss tu cosa fai stasera e con chi scioglierai la vela
la mia anima e nuda presto rinascer
in questa notte fottuta presto rinascer
ma che dici che mangi che guardi che scherzi che ridi
giro randagio tra i resti pi№ belli di questa citt
ma il mestiere di vivere adesso mi salver.

Lyrics translation

I see myself dreamy and vibrant in the center of Rome
shop windows.
Among the shops people rush rush hour
you pass me by.
Don't you notice a man walking alone now
in this evening blowing silence and nostalgia
there's no one on the way now.
Walking on deserted streets in the center of Rome
I have so much fun.
I think about it I look at myself I challenge the road it's a mystery
one hundred lire in heaven which way does my soul go naked like mannequins in the window
where people measure only vanity
but the job of living now will save me
and I wonder where you are tonight, with whom you will share the Apple
I don't know what you're doing tonight and who you're going to wind up with.
But why© when a man alone becomes more№ true
what a strange thought on this night that goes between the suburbs of ancient railings the markets the churches
you lost a man but soon reborn
my soul slams into the alleys like a newspaper
that a drunken wind drags tonight who knows where it goes but the desire to live still save me
but I wonder where you are tonight, with whom you will share the Apple
I wonder what you do tonight and with whom you will melt the sail
my soul and naked soon reborn
on this fucking night soon reborn
what do you say you eat you watch you joke you laugh
stray ride among the most№ beautiful remains of this city.
but the job of living now will save me.
