La casa di un poeta [English translation]

A poet's house

Doesn't have four walls

A poet's house

Respects its secrets

A poet's house

Hangs on a star

And looks for new paper sheets

Through boredom and sparks

A poet's house

Goes away sometimes

Goes away, but then comes back

With one window less, because

Because it hurts a poet

To look outside, where everything is the way it is

The dummy falls for it

Bloody reality

Small emotions

Are what's most important

I want to live them alone

To see them grow up

A poet's house

Is a moon in the desert

Is a diamond in the mud

Is the secret of a liar

A poet's house

You know, you have to enter it to understand

You'll understand it's for fools

To stay inside a pond

A poet's house

Is just an invention after all

It's the confusing evening

And it hides this sun

But a poet's house

Is the space that sheds light

Through the leaves of a bush

And the need to fly

Small emotions

Are what's most important

And I want to live them alone

To see them grow up
