Quando c'erano i cavalli
When there were horses
Non si arrivava mai
We never seemed to arrive
Veniva buio presto e presto era già tardi
It got dark early and soon it was already late
La notte non finiva mai
The night never seemed to end
Tu chi sei?
Who are you?
Tu cosa vuoi?
What do you want?
Una bella mattina si mosse qualcosa
One beautiful morning something stirred
La loro vita cambiò
Their lives changed
Lui era fermo davanti a una vetrina
He was standing still in front of a shop window
Lei s'innamorò
She fell in love
Ma adesso tu chi sei?
But now, who are you?
Perché non parli mai?
Why do you never speak?
Cosa vuoi?
What do you want?
Quella notte guardarono le stelle
That night they looked at the stars
Quella notte non finiva mai
That night seemed to never end
Si guardavano negli occhi
They looked into each other's eyes
Mentre passavano due guerre
While two wars were passing by
Si tenevano la mano
They held each other's hands
Per non lasciarsi mai
So they would never part
Ma dimmi tu
But tell me you
Chi sei?
Who are you?
Con quella faccia bianca e quegli occhioni blu
With that pale face and those blue eyes
Che non si chiudono mai
That never close
È più di un'ora che mi guardi tu
It's been over an hour since you've been staring at me
Chi sei?
Who are you?
Io sono il cielo dietro all'angolo
I am the sky around the corner
Sono un viaggio che farai
I am a journey you will take
Sono un progetto, sono un calcolo
I am a plan, I am a calculation
Chiudi gli occhi
Close your eyes
Che t'innamorerai
You'll fall in love
Ma potrei sdraiarti sotto un albero
But I could lie down under a tree
Fare solo quello che ti va
Just do whatever you feel like
Giocare col mio cuore elettrico
Playing with my electric heart
Accenderti, spegnerti
Turn you on, turn you off
Accenderti, spegnerti, accenderti, spegnerti, accenderti
Turn you on, turn you off, turn you on, turn you off, turn you on
Se ci fosse davvero un posto così bello, è chiaro che ci andrei
If there really were a place so beautiful, it's clear I'd go there
Partirei adesso, partirei scalzo, partirei in mutande
I'd leave right now, I'd leave barefoot, I'd leave in my underwear
Anzi m'innamorerei
On the contrary, I would fall in love
Ma non ho capito bene tu
But I didn't quite understand you
Chi sei?
Who are you?
Con quella faccia bianca e quegli occhioni blu
With that white face and those blue eyes
Che non si chiudono mai
That never close
E invece è bello chiuderli di notte
And yet it's nice to close them at night
Senza sapere se ti sveglierai
Without knowing if you'll wake up
O stando ad occhi aperti
Or with your eyes wide open
Confondere la notte, andare in giro
Getting lost in the night, wandering around
Senza sapere dove vai
Without knowing where you're going
Invece tu
But you
Non puoi
Can't
Tu, così bella tu
You, so beautiful you
Non puoi
You can't
Staccarti da quel muro e poi venire giù
Detach yourself from that wall and then come down
Con noi
With us
Che siamo cieli senza angolo
We who are skies without angles
Andiamo dove vogliamo noi
We go where we want to go
Senza progetti come gli angeli
Without plans like angels
Liberi
Free
Possiam salire sopra gli alberi
We can climb above the trees
Scendere
Come down
Giocare con i cuori elettrici
Play with electric hearts
Accenderci, spegnerci, accenderci, spegnerci
Light us up, turn us off, light us up, turn us off
Accenderci, spegnerci, accenderci, spegnerci
Light us up, turn us off, light us up, turn us off
