Giornate perse Lyrics English Translation by Marco Mengoni
I won’t see you again, there’s too many walls around
And if I miss you, that’s not what I want
I feel glass in my throat, I hope everything changes, I hope it changes
Now, Marco, don’t think and be quiet in this room
That it’s nothing, and it’s nothing
And don’t pay attention to what I’ve been saying lately
They’re bullshit, not pearls
They’re wasted days
Standing in line by myself, always
Pretending that it didn’t, that nothing happened
There’s still too much emptiness around me
Would you ever have said it (That)
That it takes courage to not have courage
And admit it to yourself
Every morning, in the bathroom mirror (I still hear you)
I don’t even know who I’m talking to (For what it’s worth)
I don’t know anymore if we saw each other yesterday (I don’t remember)
Maybe it’s been almost more than a year
Now, Marco, don’t think and be quiet in this room
You don’t exist to anyone
You scream, but it’s not enough
That it’s nothing, it’s nothing
And don’t pay attention to what I’ve been saying lately
They’re bullshit, not pearls
They’re wasted days
Standing in line by myself, always
Pretending that it didn’t, that nothing happened
Nothing happened
How beautiful is the moment when the hurricane stops
From far away I only hear the brakes of bicycles
The river of thoughts that makes the sky overflow calms down
The cigarette ashtrays
Now take a breath and run toward the sea
Cover the moon with a finger and let yourself be carried
Now, Marco, you don’t need the silence in that room anymore
That it’s nothing, and it’s nothing
And don’t pay attention to what I’ve been saying lately
They’re bullshit, not pearls
They’re wasted days
Standing in line by myself, always
Pretending that it didn’t, that nothing happened
