Lyrics

Li vedo camminare lenti
interminabili corsie
o ciondolare sonnolenti
a bocca aperta per le vie
sbarre di vetro alle finestre
e in fondo all’anima chiss?
che solitudine terrestre
che abissi di fragilit?.
Li vedo senza le catene
n? cuffie per l’elettroshock
con i calmanti nelle vene
li vedo come in un Van Gogh
parlano e ridono da soli
e in questa nave di follia
fanno le vele coi lenzuoli
e rotta per la lontanissima Utopia.
Senza passato n? futuro
li vedo sbandano qua e l?
? un pipistrello il mare oscuro
che insegue l’anima a zig-zag
li sento urlare disperati
come sirene in agonia
come bambini abbandonati
per sempre in questa galleria
li vedo piangere all’aperto
ma non sapranno mai perch?
intorno? solo un gran deserto
n? come mai per loro amore non ce n'?.
Ci fosse un Dio
nell’infinito
lui lo vorrebbe
accanto a se questo suo popolo
smarrito
e forse un Dio
per loro c'?.
Li vedo in giro sono tanti
diversi e uguali a tutti noi
quando? un inferno andare avanti
quando ti perdi… e accade a tutti
prima o poi.
Ci fosse un Dio
nell’infinito
lui lo vorrebbe
accanto a se questo suo popolo
smarrito
e forse un Dio
per loro c'?
ci fosse un Dio
nell’infinito
ci fosse un Dio
nell’infinito
ci fosse un Dio…

Lyrics translation

I see them walking slow
endless lanes
or dangling drowsy
gaping through the streets
glass bars on the windows
and deep down in the soul who?
what earthly solitude
what abyss of fragility?.
I see them without chains
n? headphones for electroshock
with painkillers in the veins
I see them as in a Van Gogh
they talk and laugh alone
and in this ship of madness
they make sails with sheets
and bound for the faraway Utopia.
No past no? future
I see them swaying here and there?
? a bat the dark sea
chasing the zig-zag soul
I hear them screaming in despair.
like mermaids in agony
as abandoned children
forever in this gallery
I see them crying outdoors
but they'll never know why?
around? just a great desert
n? how come for their love there N'?.
There was a God
in Infinity
he would want it.
next to if this his people
lost
and maybe a God
for them there?.
I see them around there are so many
different and equal to all of us
When? a hell go on
when you get lost ... and it happens to everyone
sooner or later.
There was a God
in Infinity
he would want it.
next to if this his people
lost
and maybe a God
for them there?
there was a God
in Infinity
there was a God
in Infinity
there was a God…
