Mimì sarà [English translation]

It will be that all life is a road with many bends,

and that the dogs revolve around us with steaming mouths,

that if they feel boredom or sadness or pain or love, I do not know.

It will be that one day, winter presents itself and bends your knees,

and you look out behind those glasses that are your eyes,

and you see nothing more, and nothing sees you any more, and nothing touches you.

It will be that I pin the evening to the night with my needle,

and in my life I have seen many, and I have get hit and I have given them a lot of beatings,

that they do not even hurt me anymore, and they don't burn me anymore.

Inside my heart made of wall and metal, inside my safe,

inside my collection of loves with short legs,

and everyone has a number, and above each one has a cross,

but that's okay, that's okay.

Call me Mimi,

For my black eyes and my black hair and my black thoughts,

there is Mimi who walks on the bridge by the hand of his daughter, and they look down.

For the life I had and the life I gave, for my black glasses,

to explain to my daughter that tomorrow is better, that you will see, it will change.

How this river water flows, it seems to be still,

but it runs so fast,

like Mimi who walks by the hand of his daughter,

who knows where she goes.

It will be that all life is a road and you see it coming back,

how tears come back to your eyes and hurt you more,

and nobody sees you, and nobody wants you for who you are.

It will be that I hear the dogs barking at the door tonight,

it will be that above your heart there is written 'Forbidden to pass',

your love is a secret, your heart is a prohibition,

full staff, and that's okay.

Call me Mimi, call me Mimi.

For my black eyes and my black hair and my black thoughts,

there is Mimi who walks on the bridge by the hand of his daughter, and they look down.

For the life I had and the life I gave, for my black glasses,

to explain to my daughter that tomorrow is better, that you will see, it will change.

How this river water flows, it seems to be still,

but it runs fast, like Mimi walking by the hand of the daughter,

who knows where she goes.
