L'illusione [English translation]

You're right

I don't love you but the illusion of you

The illusion of us sharing a wooden-roofed house

The illusion of a lit fireplace on Christmas day

The idea of not being alone at the age of 50.

You're right

I don't love you, but your patience

When you try to understand me

Because I'm mentally exalted

And I've never come to your house

To shake hands with your father

I love the illusion

Of someone going to the cinema with me

But I'm supposed to love you

You're convinced you have the truth in your pocket

Only because nobody else has

And you keep believing a donkey is there

In the sky it flies away

And you're right

I'm afraid of looking into myself and finding out

I'm not made for fair things

But I can't love you just because you're something beautiful

Because my culture

has taught me to get married with decent women

I can't love the illusion

Of somebody who believes in me

I'm supposed to love you

And protect you from my cowardice

From wrong analisys, from my hypochondria

I can't love the illusion

Of somebody who believes in me

I'm supposed to love you

I'm supposed to love you

And you keep believing a donkey is there

In the sky it flies away

In the sky, in the sky it flies away

The donkey... the sky...

Uuuh- ah ah ah…

Uuuh- ah ah ah…
