Ma non ho più la mia città [English translation]
Ma non ho più la mia città [English translation]

Ma non ho più la mia città [English translation]

There came the day that I said

You, Catania, you're not enough for me

My dreams that you've made

You closed them away in a drawer for me

And I dreamed of leaving

To find myself in a beautiful place

To be able to reopen

That now-hidden drawer

Closed with chains,

By now full of spiderwebs

You told me since I was a little girl

Always watch those stars

You know it's enough to see one

That falls down, everything comes true

How many stars I will have counted

How many have I seen fall

But America is far

But America, America

You know this was my dream

To fly above New York

And now I'm singing

And I'm still dreaming

But always from my city

Nothing has changed

Every night I wait

For another shooting star

And so I took that train

I had screwed myself from fear

I only brought that drawer, by now full of spiderwebs

And so I arrived in that place

Made all of motors

I missed my beach

I missed your face

That would bring me every night

To watch the fishermen

And now I'm singing

And I'm still dreaming

But I no longer have my city

Nothing has changed

Every night I wait

For another shooting star

And now I'm singing

And I'm still dreaming

But I no longer have my city

Where I live there is no sea

It always snows on the houses

Only fog and cold wind

Rain falls on the wheat

But the streets are white

There's no earth and there's no blood

I still think of the words

Written high up on the newspaper:

Those who aren't afraid of dying die only once

And now I'm singing

And I'm still dreaming

But I no longer have my city

Nothing has changed

Every night I wait

For another shooting star

And now I'm singing

And I'm still dreaming

But I no longer have my city
