Ho smesso col credere ai grandi 00:15
O almeno di credere che esistano 00:17
Quando ho smesso con il Crystal Ball 00:20
Non do più peso alle parole di una rivista, oh 00:23
Un vero artista, dicono, non si rattrista, no 00:26
Ho smesso con certi tipi di rum, non mi 00:30
Facevano stare bene i giorni dopo i concerti 00:34
E ho chiuso progetti 00:37
Smesso d'avere rapporti non protetti 00:40
Da quando non sto con te 00:42
Ciao, ci vediamo, come va? 00:49
E come mai non smetto mai con te? 00:54
Sembra strano, tu te ne vai 00:57
Ma le tue strade portano da me 01:01
Perché? Perché? 01:04
E le mie strade portano da te 01:08
Perché? Perché? 01:12
Oggi ho smesso di chiedermelo 01:16
Ho smesso col frequentare certe sale da ballo 01:23
Se non mi riesco a addormentare do la colpa al caldo 01:26
E guardo spesso in alto, cerco di non cadere 01:30
Sono a terra e rido 01:34
Ciò che è a terra ormai non può cadere 01:35
Dove andrai? E dove andrò? 01:38
Ma come piange il cielo, oh 01:42
Su di te, su di noi 01:46
Che siamo soli davvero 01:50
Ciao, ci vediamo, come va? 01:56
E come mai non smetto mai con te? 02:01
Sembra strano, tu te ne vai 02:05
Ma le tue strade portano da me 02:09
Perché? Perché? 02:12
E le mie strade portano da te 02:16
Perché? Perché? 02:19
Oggi ho smesso di chiedermelo 02:24
Ho smesso di lottare e andare contro certi mostri 02:30
Dentro un cinema 3D con più di mille posti 02:34
E ho smesso di volere donne, soldi, gloria e fama 02:37
Perché la brama delle cose infine le allontana 02:41
Ciao, ci vediamo, come va? 02:45
E come mai non smetto mai con te? 02:50
Sembra strano, tu te ne vai 02:54
Ma le tue strade portano da me 02:57
Perché? Perché? 03:01
E le mie strade portano da te 03:05

[English]
I stopped believing in the greats
Or at least believing they exist
When I stopped with the Crystal Ball
I don't give weight to magazine words anymore, oh
A true artist, they say, doesn't get sad, no
I stopped with certain types of rum, they didn't
Make me feel good the days after concerts
And I closed projects
Stopped having unprotected sex
Since I'm not with you
Ciao, see you around, how's it going?
And how come I never quit you?
It seems strange, you're leaving
But your roads lead to me
Why? Why?
And my roads lead to you
Why? Why?
Today I stopped asking myself
I stopped frequenting certain dance halls
If I can't fall asleep, I blame the heat
And I often look up, I try not to fall
I'm on the ground and I laugh
What's on the ground can't fall anymore
Where will you go? And where will I go?
But how the sky cries, oh
On you, on us
Who are truly alone
Ciao, see you around, how's it going?
And how come I never quit you?
It seems strange, you're leaving
But your roads lead to me
Why? Why?
And my roads lead to you
Why? Why?
Today I stopped asking myself
I stopped fighting and going against certain monsters
Inside a 3D cinema with more than a thousand seats
And I stopped wanting women, money, glory and fame
Because the craving for things eventually drives them away
Ciao, see you around, how's it going?
And how come I never quit you?
It seems strange, you're leaving
But your roads lead to me
Why? Why?
And my roads lead to you
Why? Why?
Today I stopped asking myself
