Lyrics:

[Italiano]

[English]

Non avrei mai voluto dare questa notizia

I've never wanted to give this news

ma adesso è qua è sulle nostre teste

but now it's here, over our heads

mancano solo poche ore

Only a few hours left

non c'è più tempo

There's no more time

Me lo ripeto in testa giusto per non dormire

I repeat it in my head just to stay awake

resta sveglio perché il meglio deve ancora svanire

Stay awake because the best is yet to fade away

per poi sognare un altro modo per potersi rialzare

Then dream of another way to get back up

come la pioggia che cade senza mai farsi male

Like rain falling without ever getting hurt

da dove siete usciti dice una voce incerta

Where you came from, a hesitant voice says

non lo so ma siamo entrati da una ferita aperta

I don’t know but we entered through an open wound

le cicatrici dicono di starcene fra i deboli

Scars tell us to stay among the weak

parliamo col linguaggio dei segni indelebili

We speak the language of irreversible signs

Come ieri tu non c’eri

Like yesterday, you weren't here

disturbi ereditari sfortunati ereditieri

Unfortunate hereditary disorders, inheritors of bad luck

perché spesso chi ti giudica è il primo che poi ti trucida

Because often those who judge you are the first to kill you

quando lanciare un sasso vale più di una supplica

When throwing a stone means more than begging

ci hanno detto non è tutto ora ciò che luccica

They told us not everything that glitters is gold

ma l’hanno detto perché è tutto loro ciò che luccica

But they said it because everything that glitters belongs to them

ora, voglio gridare fortissimo

Now, I want to scream at the top of my lungs

LA VITA FA SCHIFO IL PANORAMA E' BELLISSIMO

LIFE SUCKS, THE VIEW IS BEAUTIFUL

It’s a beautiful disaster

It’s a beautiful disaster

It’s a beautiful disaster

It’s a beautiful disaster

I get this feeling I can’t miss

I get this feeling I can’t miss

you’re getting harder to resist

You’re getting harder to resist

and maybe by the time I know

And maybe by the time I know

it’ll be too late to let you go

It’ll be too late to let you go

who knew my heart could beat so quick

Who knew my heart could beat so quick

my life I gave away for this

My life I gave away for this

don’t care what anybody sees

Don’t care what anybody sees

I know I am doing this for me

I know I am doing this for me

Prendo quei pezzi di vita che ho vissuto per sbaglio

I take those pieces of life I lived by mistake

e li cambio in emozioni di piccolo taglio

And turn them into small-cut emotions

chi vive sempre e comunque chi vive chiuso in un bunker

Who always lives, always, who lives confined in a bunker

chi vive sotto la luce vede l’inizio del tunnel

Who lives under the light sees the tunnel’s start

con il cuore di pietra tu con la coda di paglia

With a heart of stone, you with the straw tail

stanchi di nascondere la testa sotto la rabbia

Tired of hiding your head in anger

mangiare la polvere condirsi la terra

Eating dust, seasoning yourself with dirt

noi che cerchiamo la pace a costo di farvi la guerra

Us, seeking peace at the risk of causing war

Con 24 mila baci probabilmente Giuda ci avrebbe sterminati

With 24,000 kisses, Judas probably would have wiped us out

sentirsi inadeguati sentirsi uno dei tanti

Feeling inadequate, feeling like one of many

un’occasione persa fa l’uomo ladro di rimpianti

A missed opportunity makes a man a thief of regrets

rapaci nati con l’animo colpevole

Birds born with a guilty soul

denuncia la tua vita per felicità ingannevole

Report your life for deceptive happiness

e a tutti noi cresciuti dentro camere oscure

And all of us raised inside dark rooms

dove ogni stronzo mente e la verità pure

Where every bastard lies and even the truth

It’s a beautiful disaster

It’s a beautiful disaster

It’s a beautiful disaster

It’s a beautiful disaster

I get this feeling I can’t miss

I get this feeling I can’t miss

you’re getting harder to resist

You’re getting harder to resist

and maybe by the time I know

And maybe by the time I know

it’ll be too late to let you go

It’ll be too late to let you go

who knew my heart could beat so quick

Who knew my heart could beat so quick

my life I gave away for this

My life I gave away for this

don’t care what anybody sees

Don’t care what anybody sees

I know I am doing this for me

I know I am doing this for me

I can be your butterfly

I can be your butterfly

love you so hard that I could die

Love you so fiercely I could die

well, I can make it worth it all

Well, I can make it worth it all

what a beautiful way to fall

What a beautiful way to fall

It’s a beautiful disaster

It’s a beautiful disaster

beautiful disaster

Beautiful disaster

I get this feeling I can’t miss

I get this feeling I can’t miss

you’re getting harder to resist

You’re getting harder to resist

and maybe by the time I know

And maybe by the time I know

it’ll be too late to let you go

It’ll be too late to let you go

who knew my heart could beat so quick

Who knew my heart could beat so quick

my life I gave away for this

My life I gave away for this

don’t care what anybody sees

Don’t care what anybody sees

I know I am doing this for me

I know I am doing this for me

Beautiful disaster

Beautiful disaster

It’s a beautiful disaster

It’s a beautiful disaster

It’s a beautiful disaster

It’s a beautiful disaster

It’s a beautiful disaster

It’s a beautiful disaster
