Lyrics

Erano giorni finiti a pezzi e amori arresi
Pallidi entusiasmi e concorsi a premi
Giorni indigesti di sogni appesi
A promesse scambiate a tasso variabile
Erano giorni messi in lustro e giàtimbrati
Di facili attese spese a comode rate
Erano giorni presi in prestito e poi targati
Passate a fare il frocio col culo negli altri
E ogni volta tutti a dire:
Ma che bella storia!
Che bella storia!
E ogni volta tutti a dire:
Ma che bella storia!
Che bella storia!
Erano giorni insonni appoggiati al comodino
Tra la sveglia e un libro che non vuole finire
Giorni che ci si perdeva come da bambino
Di mete inseguite solo al cellulare
Erano giorni armati di pistole a salve
Percorsi a ritroso mirando alla luna
Erano giorni trascorsi pensando altrove
Di parole dette in codice o mai ascoltate
E ogni volta tutti a dire:
Ma che bella storia!
Che bella storia!
E ogni volta tutti a dire:
Ma che bella storia!
Che bella storia!
Solo tu che mi parlavi della crisi
Solo tu che mi parlavi della crisi
Erano giorni di certezze vendute in contanti
Di sorrisi sicuri resi ai migliori offerenti
Giorni di voci suadenti e fiati pesanti
Di sacre messe in suffragio universale
Erano giorni preziosi sparsi ai quattro venti
Di polveri bianche stese nei salotti buoni
Erano giorni allo spiedo strappati con i denti
Giorni che a volte era dura anche cominciare
E ogni volta tutti a dire:
Ma che bella storia!
Che bella storia!
E ogni volta tutti a dire:
Ma che bella storia!
Che bella storia!
Solo tu che mi parlavi della crisi
Solo tu che mi parlavi della crisi
Solo tu che mi parlavi della crisi
Solo tu che mi parlavi della crisi
Solo tu che mi parlavi della crisi
Solo tu che mi parlavi della crisi
Solo tu che mi parlavi della crisi
Solo tu che mi parlavi della crisi
Della crisi
Solo tu che mi parlavi della crisi
Solo tu che mi parlavi della crisi
Solo tu che mi parlavi della crisi
Solo tu che mi annunciavi questa crisi
Questa crisi

Lyrics translation

They were days gone to pieces and loves surrendered
Pale enthusiasm and prize competitions
Indigestible days of hanging dreams
A promises exchanged at floating rate
Those days were bright and already bright.
Of Easy expected expenses at convenient rates
They were borrowed days and then license plates
Switch to fag assfuck in the others
And every time everyone says:
What a beautiful story!
What a beautiful story!
And every time everyone says:
What a beautiful story!
What a beautiful story!
They were sleepless days leaning against the bedside table
Between the alarm clock and a book that does not want to end
Days you missed as a child
Of targets pursued only on mobile
They were days armed with salvo guns
Backward paths aiming at the moon
It was days spent thinking elsewhere
Of words spoken in code or never heard
And every time everyone says:
What a beautiful story!
What a beautiful story!
And every time everyone says:
What a beautiful story!
What a beautiful story!
Just you telling me about the crisis.
Just you telling me about the crisis.
These were days of certainties sold in cash
Of confident smiles rendered to the best bidders
Days of loud voices and heavy breaths
Of sacred masses in universal suffrage
They were precious days scattered over the Four Winds
Of white powders laid out in good living rooms
It was days on the spit torn with teeth
Days that sometimes it was hard even to start
And every time everyone says:
What a beautiful story!
What a beautiful story!
And every time everyone says:
What a beautiful story!
What a beautiful story!
Just you telling me about the crisis.
Just you telling me about the crisis.
Just you telling me about the crisis.
Just you telling me about the crisis.
Just you telling me about the crisis.
Just you telling me about the crisis.
Just you telling me about the crisis.
Just you telling me about the crisis.
Crisis
Just you telling me about the crisis.
Just you telling me about the crisis.
Just you telling me about the crisis.
Only you who announced this crisis to me
This crisis
