Vinicio Capossela — Le case song lyrics and translation

The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Le case" by Vinicio Capossela.

Lyrics

Le case taccion nell’addio
Non urlan più di lavatrici
Di respiri, di attese
Di anime contese
Vuote e composte nell’ombra
Di polvere e imposte
Gesti alzati in fretta nel mattino
Calda assenza a fianco al comodino
Treni, stazioni, biglietti
Sepolti nei letti…
E viene il tempo di partire
Armadi cimiteri di appendini
Parole scritte a mano
Scritte in ogni dove
Col tempo tutto sembra migliore…
Silenzio sulle frasi storte e tra le porte
Rotolano le bottiglie nascoste
Pacchi e confezioni
Vite nei cartoni
Restano di noi

Lyrics translation

The taccion houses in the farewell
No more screaming than washing machines
Of breaths, of waits
Of disputed souls
Empty and composed in the shade
Of dust and taxes
Gestures raised quickly in the morning
Warm absence next to the bedside table
Trains, stations, tickets
Buried in the beds…
And it's time to go
Cemetery cabinets of hangers
Handwritten words
Written in every where
Over time everything seems better…
Silence on Crooked sentences and between doors
Roll the hidden bottles
Packages and packages
Screw in cartons
They remain of us
