Un tempo piccolo [English translation]

I grew up in a little time

I jumped out of bed to feel free

dressing up in a hurry to tune out

everything I'd be leaving behind

I got down to the street and I blended in the traffic

I rolled uphill as if I were magical

touching ground, remaining poised

I became a tree to sway away

I shifted my gaze to look elsewhere

looking for a way to forget

I painted my soul

on anonymous canvas

and mixed my vodka

with tonic water

then I had a late supper at dinner time

I addressed the book (of the canvases he painted) as a person

I looked at the paintings with ironic airs

and gambled my memories taking the risk

to reborn afterwards under the stars

but I surely didn't forget a crazy love

in a little time

I beguiled my pain with red wine

tossing my heart around in every place

I fell asleep to an old record (playing)

lost in thoughts I won't reveal

locking away my doubts in an assorted meal

I painted my soul

on anonymous canvas

and mixed my vodka

with tonic water

then I had a late supper at dinner time

I addressed the book as a person

I looked at the paintings with ironic airs

and gambled my memories taking the risk

to reborn afterwards under the stars

but I surely didn't forget a crazy love

in a little time

And I gambled my memories taking the risk

to reborn afterwards under the stars

but I surely didn't forget a crazy love
