Lyrics
Quel pomeriggio si passava da un divano all’altro
qualunque frase era ingombrante in pieno agosto
io ti chiedevo più attenzioni e un minimo di slancio
mentre l’arrosto di tua madre mi rendeva omaggio
Ah voglio vivere così,
col sole in fronte
l’amore ai tempi dei miei nonni era sognante
Ricordo come fosse ieri il nostro primo incontro
tu eri un po' ubriaco e intento a fare colpo
Parlavi di finanziamenti a tasso agevolato
cessioni, transazioni e ahimè ricerche di mercato
Ah voglio vivere così,
col sole in fronte
l’amore ai tempi dei miei nonni era sognante
Tra di noi regnava un’ostinata consuetudine
una sintonia imperfetta.
Tra di noi regnava una profonda solitudine
la forza di inerzia
una sintonia sommersa
Quel pomeriggio si passava da un divano all’altro
mentre studiavo a come dirti che ti avrei lasciato
tu già dormivi al 40° di Roma — Lazio
pensavo io a tua madre e al cane da portare a spasso
Ah voglio vivere così,
col sole in fronte
l’amore ai tempi dei miei nonni era sognante
Tra di noi regnava un’ostinata consuetudine
una sintonia imperfetta.
Tra di noi regnava una profonda solitudine
la forza di inerzia
una sintonia perversa
Tra di noi regnava una profonda solitudine
la forza di inerzia
una sintonia imperfetta
Quel pomeriggio eri un tutt’uno col divano grigio
l’avrei dovuto già capire sin dal primo incontro
Lyrics translation
That afternoon we went from one couch to another
any sentence was cumbersome in the middle of August
I was asking for more attention and a minimum of momentum
while your mother's roast was paying tribute to me
Ah I want to live like this,
with the sun in front
love in the days of my grandparents was dreamy
I remember what our first meeting was like yesterday.
you were a little drunk and intent on impressing
You were talking about soft loans.
sales, transactions and alas market research
Ah I want to live like this,
with the sun in front
love in the days of my grandparents was dreamy
Between Us reigned a stubborn custom
an imperfect tune.
Between Us reigned a deep loneliness
the inertia force
a submerged harmony
That afternoon we went from one couch to another
while I was studying how to tell you that I would leave you
you already slept at the 40th of Rome-Lazio
I was thinking about your mother and the dog to take for a walk.
Ah I want to live like this,
with the sun in front
love in the days of my grandparents was dreamy
Between Us reigned a stubborn custom
an imperfect tune.
Between Us reigned a deep loneliness
the inertia force
a perverse tune
Between Us reigned a deep loneliness
the inertia force
an imperfect tune
That afternoon you were one with the gray couch
I should have known from the first meeting.
