Cara prof
Dear teacher
Non lo so perché
I don't know why
Dopo tanto tempo penso proprio a te
After so long, I really think of you
Forse perché
Maybe it's because
Gli esami per me
The exams for me
Sembrano non finire quasi mai
Seem to never really end
Ti ricordi
Do you remember
Di Monti Andrea
Of Monti Andrea
Era quello bravo quello che copiavo
He was the one I admired, the one I copied
Scrive che passa giorni stanchi
Writes that he passes tired days
Dice che riempie questionari
Says he fills out questionnaires
E intanto vende porta a porta
And in the meantime sells door to door
Ma in piazza no, lui non contesta più
But in the square no, he no longer protests
E penso a un cinema in fondo a quella via
And I think of a cinema at the end of that street
A un braccio intorno al collo
Of an arm around the neck
A quel sapore clorofilla dei baci
Of that chlorophyll taste of kisses
Dell'ultima fila
In the last row
E penso a Lucia
And I think of Lucia
Nell'ultima fila
In the last row
E Lucia occhi stralunati
And Lucia with wide-open eyes
Chi lo sa dov'è con i suoi problemi
Who knows where he is with his problems
Lei che coi numeri come me
She who understood numbers like I do
Non ci beccava quasi mai
We hardly ever connected at all
Lei che amava in ogni senso
She who loved in every sense
Morbide nevicate di poesia
Soft snowfalls of poetry
Cos'è rimasto di quegli anni chi lo sa
What remains of those years, who knows
Del nostro grande futuro
Of our great future
Talmente grande da inghiottirci tutti così
So vast that it could swallow us all like this
Un attimo prima
A moment before
Dell'ultima ora
The final hour
Dell'ultima ora
Of the last hour
Cara prof
Dear prof
So che tuo figlio non lo vedi più
I know you no longer see your son
Come anch'io del resto
Just as I don't see mine, after all
Tutti quei miei compagni sparsi
All those scattered friends of mine
Come gli appunti di una vita
Like the notes of a life
E a chi non sa come spiegarsi
And to those who don't know how to explain themselves
Dimmi che voto adesso tu gli dai
Tell me what grade you give him now
