Lyrics

E quanto e' lunga una vita
nelle luci di un’autostrada
tra i lampioni di ferrovia
di notte a bere senz’allegria
e i ricordi son come monete
persi al gioco della memoria
ricordi consumati
e poi fuggiti via
e questa allegria
cosi' stanca di perdersi fra un attimo
e tornare chissa' quando
mentre fuori i grilli saltano nell’acqua
e la nostalgia si spegne
nella pioggia
Le gocce d’acqua sul parabrezza
stanno brillando come diamanti
ne portero' uno anche a lei
e chissa' se lei ricorda
i profumi della motte
quando alla finestra
sognava d’esser grande
e il cuore le batteva
come un pulcino
tra le mani
E anche stanotte
e' scomparsa
qualche vicino si svegliera'
il mio cane abbaia sempre un po'
sentendo il camion arrivar

Lyrics translation

And how long a life is
in the lights of a highway
among the railway street lights
at night to drink without joy
and memories are like coins
lost at the memory game
consumed memories
and then run away
and this cheerfulness
so tired of getting lost in a moment
and come back who knows when
while out the crickets jump into the water
and the nostalgia goes out
in the rain
The water drops on the windshield
they're shining like diamonds
I'll bring one to you, too.
and who knows if she remembers
the scents of motte
when at the window
he dreamed of being big
and the heart beat them
like a Chick
in your hands
And tonight too
she disappeared.
some neighbor's gonna wake up.
my dog always barks a little
feeling the truck arrive
