San Luca

Just today the sun came out
While everyone is going to sea
I want to be alone
Then maybe I’ll find myself, yes
 
When there’s no one to help me
I go running all the way to San Luca1
Then maybe I end up
On some new path there
 
Where light makes its way
Like under the arcades during a thunderstorm
It makes you take to the skies
And you no longer feel alone here
 
I wish we could fly like two feathers
But like a perch being at the bottom of a river
Imagining the ocean
Who knows if it’s like they used to say
That you can touch it if you think about it
 
Do you ever
Walk for endless whole days
And moon around
Indulging in unconfessable wishes? Yes
 
Do you ever
Want to not wait for happiness
Just like me? Yes
 
I don’t know how to pray
I only ask for what comes true
Thus I’m sure
Nobody loses out
 
We all are children of the moon
We look at the Madonna of San Luca
When it glows in the dark
And we think about future, yeah
 
To be able to fly like a feather does
In the dark above the valley2
Fog looks like the ocean
So many teens drown there
Thinking about it makes you sick at heart
 
Do you ever
Walk for endless whole days
And moon around
Indulging in unconfessable wishes? Yes
 
Do you ever
Keep waiting his wonders?
I can’t work them, just like you
Hoping that’s not everything that exists is beautiful, yes
Does it happen to you too?
 
Happiness
Just like me
You don’t say it, but
Does it happen to you too?
 
Does it happen to you too?
Does it happen to you too?
Does it happen to you too?
Does it happen to you too?
Does it happen to you too?
Does it happen to you too?
 
Just today the sun came out
While everyone is going to sea
I want to be alone
Then maybe I’ll find myself, yes
