Lyrics

Il mestiere della vita
difficile lo so'
se ti svegli alle sei
prendi il metro
tra studenti e operai
soldi ce ne voglion tanti
vivere una slot machine
ma cammini e stringi i denti
sorridendo a chi ti dice no straripa prima o poi
come il lago la tristezza
dentro chi sei
in quel pozzo chi c'
il sorriso una donna
ma se perdi anche lei
sei nei GUAI
che ti rubano allegria
come visite ai musei
per la mano ad una zia
e flutti dell’oceano
che riaffioran dentro me che da un’ora ho perso te e poi siamo tutti artisti
e la notte il nostro gioco
angeli dagli occhi pesti
la vita che ci spreca un po'
qualcuno cerca Dio
o le sue alternative
tutti cercano l’io
dentro di se
e talvolta un brusio
e talvolta non c'
son GUAI
di certezze che non hai
di carezze avute mai
sono toppe dentro te che si scuciono ai perche
sono colpe che ti dai
se ti chiedono cos’hai
GUAI
questi lenti scarabei
che si arrampicano in te quando l’anima non c'
la voglia di andar via
riaffiora dentro me che da un’ora ho perso te

Lyrics translation

The craft of life
hard I know.
if you wake up at six o'clock
take the metro
between students and workers
we need a lot of money.
live a slot machine
but you walk and clench your teeth
smiling at those who say no sooner or later overflows
like the lake sadness
inside who are you
in that well who is
the smile a woman
but if you lose her too
you're in trouble.
that steal your joy
such as visits to museums
for the hand of an aunt
and ocean waves
that reappioran inside me that for an hour I lost you and then we are all artists
and the night our game
evil-eyed Angels
the life that wastes us a little
someone seeks God
or its alternatives
everyone is looking for the self
inside itself
and sometimes a buzz
and sometimes there is no
his trouble
of certainties you don't have
of caresses ever had
there are patches inside you that shake to the perches
it's your fault
if they ask you what you have
Trouble
these beetle lenses
that climb into you when the soul is not there
the urge to leave
come back inside me that for an hour I've lost you
