The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Desirée" by Samuele Bersani.

Lyrics

Desirée torna in sé dopo un sogno
Svegliandosi tra gli scoiattoli di una città
Su una panchina aspetta l’autobus
E si strofina le mani dal freddo che fa
È una mattina in cui le nuvole battono i taxi in velocità
E le altalene si credon libere di dondolare per propria volontà
Desirée conta sei semafori, otto fermate per scendere
Intanto si fa un viaggio muto con chi ha di fronte e quasi si dimentica della
realtà
Per tre fermate ha avuto un complice, un cavaliere pronto a difenderla dai
draghi alati
Desirée torna in sé dopo questo ennesimo saggio di danza con la fantasia,
S’incammina in mezzo agli alberi sotto a una pioggia di pezzi di fotografia
In un parcheggio sotterraneo tiene un sasso in mano e accelera un po'
È uno spavento solo momentaneo che si dissolve in un gas di scarico
Desirée sulle scale mobili mentre una radio lontana trasmette «Fast Car»
È circondata da soli uomini tutti replicanti di un’unità
Ma se il deserto prevede un’oasi ecco che da lontano ne vede già i confini…
(Grazie a Federica Sconza per questo testo)

Lyrics translation

Desiree comes to her senses after a dream
Waking up among the Squirrels of a city
On a bench waiting for the bus
And he rubs his hands from the cold it does
It's a morning when clouds beat taxis in speed
And the swings thought they were free to swing by their own will
Desiree counts six traffic lights, eight stops to get off
Meanwhile you take a silent journey with those in front of you and almost forget the
fact
For three stops she had an accomplice, a knight ready to defend her from the
winged dragons
Desiree comes to her senses after this umpteenth dance essay with fantasy,
He walks through the trees under a rain of pieces of photography
In an underground parking lot he holds a stone in his hand and accelerates a little
It is a only momentary scare that dissolves into an exhaust gas
Desirée on escalators while a distant radio broadcasts " Fast Car»
It is surrounded by only men all replicating a unit
But if the desert foresees an oasis, then from afar it already sees its borders…
