E poi mi parli di una vita insieme [English translation]

And so you speak to me of a life together

of a house full of children

of our love

and of me going to work

But what do you know

of a world

you can live in

only if you watch

where you put your feet

and every time

we go out

you tell me your father

wants to know

my intentions

But what would he know

if he’s spent his whole life

doing nothing but watch

I wish that you —

that you had something to say,

that you’d talk... more

that just once you’d react,

rebelling against that eternally charmed life

to see you fight

against those who want you

such an innocent and banal woman

woman always the same woman

woman uncomprehending woman

woman to take out

woman to marry

No, listen

just listen to me a minute

it’s not that I deep down hate you, you know

it’s not your fault

the truth is it’s that world

you serve like that
