Lui era un businessman con un'idea in testa
He was a businessman with an idea in his head
Lei ballerina di jazz
She was a jazz dancer
Leggeva William Blake vicino a una finestra
She read William Blake by a window

He drank coffee
Guardando quelle gambe muoversi pensò: "È una stella!"
Watching those legs move, he thought: "She's a star!"
Pensava a Fred Astaire
He thought of Fred Astaire
E chi non ha mai visto nascere una Dea
And who has never seen a Goddess being born
E chi non ha mai visto nascere una Dea
And who has never seen a Goddess being born
Non lo sa che cos'è la felicità
Doesn't know what happiness is
Lui, garofano rosso e parole

Come una stella di...
Like a star of...
Lui si svegliò senza lei, nudo nella tempesta
He woke up without her, naked in the storm
Là fuori Union Square
Out there in Union Square
Entrava luce al neon dal vetro di una finestra
Neon light came through the glass of a window
L'odore del caffè
The smell of coffee
