E adesso andate via 00:08
Voglio restare solo 00:12
Con la malinconia 00:15
Volare nel suo cielo 00:19
Non chiesi mai chi eri 00:23
Perché scegliesti me 00:26
Me che fino a ieri 00:30
Credevo fossi un re 00:33
Perdere l'amore 00:38
Quando si fa sera 00:44
Quando tra i capelli 00:47
Un po' d'argento li colora 00:49
Rischi di impazzire 00:54
Può scoppiarti il cuore 00:58
Perdere una donna 01:01

Rinnegare il cielo 01:12
Prendere a sassate 01:16

C'è una ruga che non c'era 02:18
Provi a ragionare 02:23
Fai l'indifferente 02:26
Fino a che ti accorgi 02:29
Che non sei servito a niente 02:31
E vorresti urlare 02:36
Soffocare il cielo 02:40
Sbattere la testa 02:43
Mille volte contro il muro 02:46
Respirare forte il suo cuscino 02:50
Dire è tutta colpa del destino 02:54
Se non ti ho vicino 02:57
Perdere l'amore 03:01
Maledetta sera 03:04
E raccogli i cocci 03:08
Di una vita immaginaria 03:10
Pensi che domani 03:14
È un giorno nuovo 03:16
Ma ripeti non me l'aspettavo 03:18
Non me l'aspettavo 03:22
03:28
Prendere a sassate 03:35
Tutti i sogni ancora in volo 03:37

[English]
And now you go away
I want to be alone
With the melancholy
Flying in her sky
I never asked who you were
Why you chose me
Me who until yesterday
Thought you were a king
Losing love
When evening comes
When among the hair
A bit of silver colors them
You risk going crazy
Your heart might burst
Losing a woman
And feeling like dying
Let me scream
Renounce the sky
Throw stones at
All the dreams still in flight
I will make them fall one by one
I will break the wings of fate
And I will have you close
Anyway, I understand you
And I admit I was wrong
I made your choices
Who knows what I expected
And now what remains
Of all the time together
A man too alone
Who still loves you
Losing love
When evening comes
When on the face
There’s a wrinkle that wasn’t there
You try to reason
You act indifferent
Until you realize
That you were of no use
And you would like to scream
Suffocate the sky
Bang your head
A thousand times against the wall
Breathe deeply into her pillow
Say it’s all the fault of fate
If I don’t have you close
Losing love
Cursed evening
And gather the pieces
Of an imaginary life
You think that tomorrow
Is a new day
But you repeat I didn’t expect it
I didn’t expect it
...
Throw stones at
All the dreams still in flight
I will make them fall one by one
I will break the wings of fate
And I will have you close
Losing love
...
