Oh che sarà [English translation]

Oh what may it be, what may it be

that is breathed in bedrooms

that is murmured in verses and stanzas

that is set up in the deepest darkness

that fills up heads and words

that lights candles during processions

that talks loudly in doorways

and shouts in marketplaces that no doubt

in nature and beauty

lies that which has no reason and never will

that which has no remedy and never will

that which has no moderation.

Oh what may it be, what may it be

that lives in the idea of these lovers

that is sung by the most frenzied poets

that is sworn by drunk prophets

that is on the path of amputees

and in the imagination of unhappy folks

that is in the prostitutes' daily grind

in the bandits' wretched plan.

Oh what may it be, what may it be

that has no decency and never will

that endures no reprimand and never will

that has no reason.

Oh what may it be, what may it be

that no warning will help avoid

that every laugh will challenge

that every bell will sing

and all those hymns will enshrine

and all children will cleanse

and our fates will encounter

even the Almighty

watching that hell from afar will give His blessing to

that which has no rule and never will

that which has no shame and never will

that which has no judgment.

Oh what may it be, what may it be

that has no rule and never will

that has no shame and never will

that has no judgment...
