Be wearing you

If I can't say what I feel inside
like a sightless, like a deaf,
if I can't do what I'm supposed to do
like a monkey like a cat.
 
If I can't love how I'm supposed to love,
like a child, like a fool,
if I can't give as an empty pocket,
like a never solved issue.
 
Be wearing you
yes, like a shirt, like a jacket,
like a full pocket, like a button,
like a dead leaf, like a sorrow.
 
Be wearing you
like my hands, like a color,
like my voice, my tiredness,
like a new joy, like a present.
 
And if my heart wants to be a mouth
that seeks you and swallows you,
then i will keep your life inside me
this never ending song.

Be wearing you
like my Indian summer1,
like a new wrinkle, like a smile,
like a false hint, like a guilt.
 
Be wearing you
like a sunny day in the middle of May
that warms your skin, melts your heart
and gives you a reason to start again.
 
Be wearing you,
be with you,
to stay together, to love you.
 
Be wearing you,
be with you,
to stay together, to love you.
 

• 1. The term 'Indian summer' is a period in autumn where the temperature is really warm. In Italian we call such a period 'St. Martin's summer' since St. Martin is celebrated the 11th of November.

Autumn: A year an hour a minute / Someone like me / Once I'll leave

A year full of days,
A day full of hours,
An hour full of minutes,
And a minute
Has already passed.
 
A world full of people,
People full of stories,
Stories full of time,
And time
Has already passed.
 
And just one moment is mine
And I'm just one moment
And in that moment, I can see the sky
And then, when that moment is gone,
I'm already someone else.
 
~ ~ ~
 
Someone like me
Has no illusions:
He reads words
Inside walls.
 
Someone like me
Sane in his temples
Has a pain closed up
In his shoulders.
 
Someone like me,
The Sun's comrade,
Dreams inside the darkness
Of the night.
 
Someone like me,
Doesn't have a banner,
And doesn't want any masters
To obey.
 
Someone like you,
Warms my heart,
And she becomes
My master.
 
~ ~ ~
 
My love,
I'm not leaving even though I'm telling you goodbye.
 
Once I'll leave,
I'll take you with me,
Like a golden amulet
You always wear.
 
Once I'll leave,
You tell me 'til we meet again',
Wave goodbye with a smile
That lightens up your face.
 
I'll be back each time
You'll feel alone
I'll be back each time
Your heart aches.
 
Once I'll leave,
Give my name to a cat
And pet him always
With your lazy hands.
 

Summer: The adventure / Don't say you love me / And I fall in love still / Wait for me / My wrongful love / I love you more

It will be forever, as long as it lasts,
This beautiful adventure.
In your eyes and hands,
The tenderness of tomorrow.
 
It will be forever, the fear
That each time an adventure
Holds its own ending,
Holds another beginning.
 
It will be forever, just a day
A day you can remember
Like the birth of a flower
That comes with the Spring.
 
~ ~ ~
 
Don't say you love me
Don't ever say it.
The things you don't say
Grow hidden like that,
In your heart.
 
Love is a strange flower
That blooms in silence
And has a light scent
That can only be noticed by
Those who know how to love.
 
No one knows
Why you love me so
And I have to tell you,
I don't know it either.
 
~ ~ ~
 
When I wake up,
And it's raining outside,
But it's warm inside,
And you're here.
 
I look at you, you're always
The same as before,
Time has forgotten about you.
 
And I fall in love with you still,
And I fall in love with you still.
 
Time passes by
Even at night
Time is all I have
When I look at you, while you're sleeping
It seems
That time never passes.
 
And I fall in love with you still,
And I fall in love with you still.
 
When I look at you, I feel like laughing,
When I look at you, I feel like crying,
When I look at you, I feel like living,
Living as I wish.
 
And I fall in love with you still,
And I fall in love with you still.
 
And I fall in love with you still,
And I fall in love with you still.
 
~ ~ ~
 
Wait for me.
If I don't see you, then wait for me
I'm never far, look for me
I'm lost if you lose me.
 
Wait for me,
The evening is coming, wait for me.
I can't be alone, hold me
By the hand, like this,
So I won't get lost.
 
Embrace me,
Or else the music will stop.
Let's go in your dreams,
Kill me:
I can't live if I don't have you, anyway.

My wrongful love
Doesn't resemble me,
How wonderful.
 
My wrongful love
Never agrees
With what I say.
 
My stubborn love
Always tells me yes.
If only it would change its mind, for once!
 
And I walk on a wire,
So unlikely,
Untrustworthy,
In her hands.
 
And selfishness, how wonderful
If the world is in ruins
After all, to me,
You're the world.
 
~ ~ ~
 
I love you
More
Than you love me.
 
But you,
I know,
Don't want to think about it.
 
To you,
Life is simple and endless.
 
To you, love
Doesn't need the lies I tell.
 
But the lies I make up
Are the truth,
The only truth
That gives me peace.
 

Spring: Us people of the sea / My friend / Freedom is my woman / Two dogs at church

Us people of the sea
Know that
If you want to save
Someone who's drowning,
You'll be beat down
By him and by the sea
And perhaps you'll drown as well.
 
If the sea's there
We know that
It's best to be each in our respective homes
And rest
For the calm
Will be back, and then you'll sail.
 
The wave stays still, yet it always moves
And perhaps one day, like good sailors
Every man for his own, every man for his own
Will sail his own piece of the sea.
 
The wave stays still, yet it always moves
And perhaps one day, like good mechanics
Every man for his own, every man for his own,
Will fix up his own piece of the world.
 
~ ~ ~
 
From behind the wall, you stare at
The rest of the world
You speak softly, from afar
You don't understand others
And neither do I
And I pretend
To be sane.
 
In the darkness of the mind,
In the reality of dreams,
They walk together
The children of the Moon.
 
My friend, don't worry,
It doesn't matter,
There are no differences
On the Moon.
 
~ ~ ~
 
My woman is like freedom,
When she's not there,
I miss her to death.
Then when she's with me
I almost don't realize it
In the morning, I know
That there'll be a smile.
 
My woman is like freedom,
In my mind, I
Have always thought of her
Even when I
Still didn't know that,
Even when she
Had gone away.
 
My woman is like freedom,
Like a song you can always sing,
That cannot be quiet, that cannot end,
My woman is my song.

We were two dogs at church,
You and I.
And you, you've already left,
Ask Him why
There are many sad lives in this senseless world,
There are many horrendous stories in this wonderful world.
 
Perhaps He'll answer,
Perhaps even He doesn't know.
 
Wait for me, in a while
I'll come too
To lend you a hand, to ask why...
 
And you'll see that even there
We'll get kicked out.
 

Winter: When I was twenty / We were always together / I met Sadness / I want to die ill

When I was twenty
I looked like
Someone who was leaving on a great journey
 
Those who looked at me then saw a small boy
With long hair, and a child's eyes
 
And those who look at me now
No longer see the same thing
Because, just like a wave,
Life has already passed by
 
And yet there's still people
Who see me as I was then
And don't realize
How much has changed
 
~ ~ ~
 
We were always together
But almost never got along
It was great to fight
Over answers you don't have
Over questions almost no one
Asks when they're older
All of this back and forth
With the sea always being blue
 
I'm full of memories,
I'm enriched by my friends,
Who are alive now as they were then,
Even though they're no longer here.
 
And even now that tomorrows
Become a little bit shorter,
There's still so much time to dream
There's still so much time to love.
 
~ ~ ~
 
I met Sadness
And I pretended not to know her.
I fell asleep and I had
A long caress as a bedsheet.
 
What do I care
About the things others are saying?
What do I care
With all the friends I have?
 
What do I care,
About those who are against me?
What do I care,
As long as I have you on my side?
 
And if, for once,
Everyone agreed with me,
That means I must've written
Something wrong.
 
What do I care,
About those who only know how to hate?
What do I care,
About those who only know how to envy?
 
What should I care,
I, who live on the Moon,
About those who have never
Seen the Moon?
 
What I really care about
I, who have no certainties,
Is that nothing's more important
Than a long caress of yours.

I want to die ill
Not healthy as a fish
That may be good for fish
But not for me.
 
I want to die ill
After doing everything
The good and the bad
But what's the bad?
 
After all, the bad is not doing anything,
Not giving anything to anyone,
And dying rich and in good health
For no reason.
 
I want to die ill,
Because of love and poetry,
And also due to bronchitis
Because I smoke.

君はぼくらの人生をひきずっている

夢見るために

ぼくらが見た物を

君がぼくの月で星だから
君が僕の太陽で空
君はぼくのすべて

Hey, mom

Lallallaio lallallaio lallallaio la

Tell me, mom, is it true that everyone else is the same as me?
Well, no, it's not exactly like that
Hey, mom, is it true that who's white is stronger than me?
Well, yes, it will be always like that
Hey, mom, is it true that who's stronger is righter than me?
Well, yes, it will be always like that
 
But it's also true that color is only light
And light is hope
And that's us
 
Hey, mom, you say Christ's soul is the same as mine?
Well, yes, black like you
Christ has a Harlequin's soul, with all the colors of the rainbow?
Well, yes, it might be exactly like that
 
Can it be true that color is only light
And light is hope
And that we are hope
Walking towards the Sun
Into the Sun which will rise
 
Black can be flag
For an idea free and true
 
Hey, mom, will there come a day when Cain won't kill?
Well, no, his brother no more
Even if in Africa they have no color, does that mean they're children of a professor?
Well, yes, it's exactly like that
 
Can it be true that color is only light
And light is hope
And that we are hope
Walking towards the Sun
Into the Sun which will rise

The sky inside a room

When you're here with me
this room has no longer any walls,
it has woods instead, endless woods.
 
When you're here, close to me
this purple ceiling stops existing,
above us I see the sky
and here we remain,
rapt,
as if nothing else (but us) was left in the world
 
A harmonica is playing
to me it sounds like an organ
that quavers for you and me
up there, in the endless sky.
