Una nave in una foresta [English translation]

And at times you are unique

(like) a ship inside a forest

Other times you feel intrepid

like a flower inside a storm

And at times you are stupid

(like) a tear at a feast

other times you believe to be free

(like) a horse on a ride

and at times you are limpid

(like) a morning in a window

other times you feel arid

like a gesture that remains in a pocket

empty rooms to fill

with good thoughts

and some hug to forget

locked in a drawer

full of promises and phrases

whistled quietly while

our world

slowly drifted towards another oblivion1

It's early

to turn around and look back

in which light will I see you?

in which instant will I lose you?

There will be one time, not now

And at times you are simple

(like) the colors of the countryside

Other times you feel slimy

within the arms of a bitch2

empty rooms to fill

with good thoughts

and some hug to forget

locked in a drawer

full of promises and phrases

whistled quietly while

our world

slowly drifted towards another oblivion

It's early

to turn around and look back

in which light will I see you?

in which instant will I lose you?

There will be one time, not now

Empty rooms to fill

with good presences

and new routes to redraw

far from the errors

without forgetting

what made us feel good

while the courage drifted

slowly towards a new oblivion...

It's early to look back

in which light will I see you?

It's early

to turn around and look back

in the light that I will see you

in the instant that I will lose you

there will be a time, not now

1. "in oblivio" - towards a place where it will be forgotten2. The word 'carogna' can mean a few different things: carcass or evil woman. Although, I think 'bitch' best suites the translation. If anyone has a better interpretation please let me know.
