It's my life

Clicca per vedere il testo originale (Italiano)

I wake up and, outside, it's still full moon

I go out to touch my land (1)

it's one more night to be forgotten,

nothing which makes you realize

this life, then, which sense it has,

in a silence made to pray

strong a pain comes up to hurt me

but it is a wind which dies down in a moment

and leaves inside much cold

and toghether a lot of poverty

And it goes,

my thought goes away (2)

going along a flight which already knows

into which heart to go, and it will arrive,

and it goes

it's my age that goes away

and how much love away with her (3)

and this life

which passes and where does will it go (4)

I softly re-enter and as if I were a clown

slowly I start drawing (5)

the red circle of the smile

white light on my face

ready to start again

And it goes,

my thought goes away

going along a flight which already knows

into which heart to go, and it will arrive,

and it goes

it's my age that goes away

and how much love away with her

and this life

which passes and where does will it go

it's my life which passes and where does will it go

Commenti dell’autore:

(1) Many are the possible translations for italian "terra": land (also as "Country"); ground (as soil) and planet Earth itself
(2) "goes away" is the corresponding translation of italian "se ne va", whose structure might appear complicated, since it joins a false-reflexive particle (se) which doesn't match with English, and a pronoun (ne) which, in this case, is translated "off" or "away". As a matter of facts, "se ne va" is just one structure, whose reference verb is not "andare" but properly "andarsene" (the same can be said for expressions like "lavarsene le mani", to wash one's own hands of something - meaning: taking one's own responsibility off - or "fregarsene": "me ne frego" = I don't care of that )
(3) "her" refers to the age, which in Italian is a feminine noun
(4) Interrogative-dubitative form (generally introduced by adverb "chissà" = I wonder )
(5) italian verb "prendere" (= to take) is sometimes used as a synonym for "starting" (doing something); [construction: prendere + a + infinitive ]
