Lyrics:

[Italiano]

[English]

In questa casa c'è un piano di sopra

In this house, there's an attic above

Dove abita gente che non sa di noi del piano di sotto

Where people who don't know about us below live

Io l'ho scoperto e sono rimasta zitta

I found out and I stayed silent

Non lo dirò a nessuno, è una promessa

I won't tell anyone, it's a promise

I fantasmi non parlano

Ghosts don't speak

Sull'uscio a spiare rimangono

They stay spying at the door

Non sanno fare altro

They don't know how to do anything else

Non sanno fare altro

They don't know how to do anything else

I fantasmi non parlano

Ghosts don't speak

Sull'uscio a spiare rimangono

They stay spying at the door

Non sanno fare altro

They don't know how to do anything else

Non sanno fare altro

They don't know how to do anything else

Non mi sento neanche in colpa

I don’t even feel guilty

Se mi sveglio tardi

If I wake up late

Tanto ho tutto il tempo

Since I have all the time in the world

Tanto ho tutto il tempo

Since I have all the time in the world

Da quando ho i polsi aperti

Ever since I opened my wrists

Da quando ho i polsi aperti

Ever since I opened my wrists

Da quando ho i polsi aperti

Ever since I opened my wrists

Mi sa che non mi senti

I think you can't hear me

Quassù vive gente che

Up here, there are people who

Non sospetta del piano di sotto e viceversa

Don't suspect what's below and vice versa

Hanno tutti da pensare alla messa

They’re all busy with Sunday mass

Della domenica

And today’s Friday, and they don't like it

Ed oggi è venerdì e non gli va

Ghosts don't speak

I fantasmi non parlano

They stay spying at the door

Sull'uscio a spiare rimangono

They don't know how to do anything else

Non sanno fare altro

They don't know how to do anything else

Non sanno fare altro

Ghosts don't speak

I fantasmi non parlano

They stay spying at the door

Sull'uscio a spiare rimangono

They don't know how to do anything else

Non sanno fare altro

They don't know how to do anything else

Non sanno fare altro

I don’t even feel guilty

Non mi sento neanche in colpa

If I wake up late

Se mi sveglio tardi

Since I have all the time in the world

Da quando ho i polsi aperti

Ever since I opened my wrists

Da quando ho i polsi aperti

Ever since I opened my wrists

Non mi sento neanche in colpa

I don’t even feel guilty

Tanto ho tutto il tempo

Since I have all the time in the world

Mi sa che

I think you

Non mi senti

Can't hear me
