Lyrics

Miscellaneous
Recitando
Recitando si scende
Giù sul fondo,
Le memorie ondulate
E profanate
Da una mano fantasma
Che propone alleanze
Concedendo distanze
Di egoismo e frenesia…
Ma alle volte si sale,
E molto alto,
È per non farsi male,
E non fa male
Una buona commedia,
Un profumo di insidia:
Fa venire appetito
Di quintati di poesie…
Tienti forte
Che ormai si sta volando
Non so dirti nè dove,
Come o quando,
Pilotando si va Sulle palme del giorno,
Recitando un ritorno
Sulla pista delle allegrie…
E così si dimentica
E ricorda…
Recitando e inventando
E profanando
Com la tua esibizione
Com la mia imitazione…
Arredando il silenzie
Di ogni sorta di mercanzia…

Lyrics translation

Miscellaneous
Recite
Acting goes down
Down to the bottom,
Wavy memories
And desecrated
By a ghost hand
Proposing alliances
Granting distances
Of selfishness and frenzy…
But sometimes you get up,
And very high,
It's not to get hurt,
And it does not hurt
A good comedy,
A scent of insidiousness:
Makes appetite come
Of quintats of poems…
Hold on tight
That is now flying
I can't tell you where.,
How or when,
Piloting you go on the palm trees of the day,
Acting a comeback
On the track of cheerfulness…
And so you forget
And remember…
Acting and inventing
And desecrating
Com your performance
Com my imitation…
Furnishing the silence
Of all kinds of merchandise…
