Ho perso tempo per guardarmi dentro e 00:14
Ho sistemato qualche mia abitudine 00:17
Ma poi la sera che arrivava ed io 00:21
Mi chiedevo dov'è il senso 00:23
Se c'è un senso a tutto questo 00:25
Ho perso tempo per guardarti dentro e 00:27
Ti ho dedicato il cuore tra le pagine 00:30
Ma poi la sera che arrivava ed io 00:34
Mi chiedevo dov'è il senso 00:37
Se c'è un senso a tutto questo 00:39
Senti 00:40
Non c'è bisogno di parlare 00:42
Dalla serranda scende il sole 00:44
E noi ci siamo accontentati 00:48
Ma ci sarà 00:53
Il ballo delle incertezze 00:54
Ci sarà 00:56
Un posto in cui perdo tutto 00:58
Che per stare in pace con te stesso e col mondo 01:00
Devi avere sognato almeno per un secondo 01:03
E ci sarà 01:06
Tra la gente che aspetto 01:08
Chiunque ha 01:10
Rischiato tutto ed ha perso 01:11
Che per stare in pace con te stesso e col resto 01:13
Puoi provare a volare lasciando a terra te stesso 01:16
Ho camminato in equilibrio su di me 01:20
Mischiando il tuo sorriso alle mie lacrime 01:23
Ma la coscienza non si spegne ed io 01:27
Mi chiedevo dov'è il senso 01:30
Se c'è un senso a tutto questo e 01:32
Ho respirato sui tuoi battiti lenti e 01:34
Adesso vivi, sì ma dentro un'immagine 01:37
Ricordo c'era il vento ed io 01:40
Mi chiedevo dov'è il senso 01:43
Se c'è un senso a tutto questo 01:45
E ci sarà 01:47
Il ballo delle incertezze 01:48
E ci sarà 01:50
Un posto in cui perdo tutto 01:51
Che per stare in pace con te stesso e col mondo 01:53
Devi avere sognato almeno per un secondo 01:56
E ci sarà 02:00
Tra la gente che aspetto 02:01
Chiunque ha 02:03
Rischiato tutto ed ha perso 02:05
Che per stare in pace con te stesso e col resto 02:06
Puoi provare a volare lasciando a terra te stesso 02:10
Sono i momenti quelli persi a dare un senso, forse 02:14
Mi chiedi perché sono fragile, sono diverso forse? 02:17
Ero un bambino e stavo in cortile, respiravo piano 02:20
Ho sempre rinchiuso vita e sogno nel palmo della mano 02:24
Sono presente ancora oggi al ballo delle incertezze 02:27
Dove ti siedi e più sei poco e più ti senti grande 02:30
Incontro me stesso e poi gli chiedo se vuole ballare 02:34
Ferma la musica che il silenzio adesso sa parlare 02:37
02:41
(Oh!) 02:47
02:49
E ci sarà 02:59
Il ballo delle incertezze 03:01
E ci sarà 03:03
Un posto in cui perdo tutto 03:04

[English]
I've wasted time looking inside myself and
I've fixed some of my habits
But then the evening came, and I
Would wonder where the meaning is
If there's any meaning to all this
I've wasted time looking into you and
I dedicated my heart between the pages
But then the evening came, and I
Would wonder where the meaning is
If there's any meaning to all this
Listen
There's no need to talk
The sun is descending behind the shutter
And we've settled for less
But there will be
The dance of uncertainties
There will be
A place where I lose everything
To find peace with yourself and the world
You must have dreamed, at least for a second
And there will be
Among the people I wait for
Anyone who has
Risked everything and lost
To find peace with yourself and the rest
You can try to fly, leaving yourself on the ground
I've walked a tightrope over myself
Mixing your smile with my tears
But conscience won't turn off, and I
Would wonder where the meaning is
If there's any meaning to all this, and
I've breathed on your slow beats, and
Now you live—yes, but inside an image
I remember there was wind, and I
Would wonder where the meaning is
If there's any meaning to all this
And there will be
The dance of uncertainties
And there will be
A place where I lose everything
To find peace with yourself and the world
You must have dreamed, at least for a second
And there will be
Among the people I wait for
Anyone who has
Risked everything and lost
To find peace with yourself and the rest
You can try to fly, leaving yourself on the ground
It's those lost moments that maybe give meaning
You ask me why I'm fragile, maybe I'm different
I was a child in the yard, breathing softly
I've always kept my life and dreams in the palm of my hand
I'm still here today, at the dance of uncertainties
Where sitting down, the less you have, the bigger you feel
I meet myself and then ask if it wants to dance
Stop the music; now silence knows how to speak
...
(Oh!)
...
And there will be
The dance of uncertainties
And there will be
A place where I lose everything
To find peace with yourself and the world
You must have dreamed, at least for a second
And there will be
Among the people I wait for
Anyone who has
Risked everything and lost
To find peace with yourself and the rest
You can try to fly, leaving yourself on the ground
