Notti di lune storte [English translation]

Put on my shoes and travel like I have travelled

And you'll see that I'm a man, not a God

The man that you have before you, has grit his teeth

He has understood that one dies only if you surrender

How many days for the world only to sound

How many airplanes and the fear of flying

I have found a son already grown that spoke

I don't have a picture with him when he played

How many nights and how many crooked moons

With my hands above a piano

Warm and bitter the water that I have drunk

How many cold plates that I have eaten

How many nights and how many crooked moons

And destiny never came

I have bought money from a merchant

Because I didn't have anything in my pocket

I

Who has always done everything in his own way

Putting into play that which wasn't yours

If you ask, you see well before what you give

Life gives that which you don't expect

Put on my skin and travel like I have travelled

And you'll see how much sweat I have thrown away

And if during my walk I have smiled

Look closely at what's behind, maybe it's just an exception

Now that you see me and say that I'm a tough man

You don't know I've hit this face on the wall

My suffering, I assure you, are many

That which I have given my blood to has always betrayed me

How many nights and how many crooked moons

A tightrope walker on loose ropes

There was only an open window

But it was never the door

How many nights and how many crooked moons

And a furious liver

I stood back up and fell back down

They played drums of war

I

Who has always done everything in his own way

Putting into play that which wasn't yours

If you ask, you see well before what you give

Life gives that which you don't expect

As long as you saw the sea, heart (of mine)

to dry out, to not have water anymore

to swim, to fish;

and out of the blue, death came to the plains

and as long as you saw all these

only then I would leave you with terrible pain;

and as long as you saw all these

only then I would leave you with terrible pain.

Put my shoes on and travel like I have travelled

And you'll see that you don't ask God for luck

You fill find prosperity in those that have never had anything

And poverty in those that were born rich and powerful!
