cielo suburbano grigio suolo
attraverso le barricate posso vedere i tuoi occhi
luminosi e chiari
come se fossero mani che cercano di raggiungermi, toccarmi
solo una benda di odio può nascondermi il tuo sguardo
e più fingo di non vedere e più mi riconosco
nel tuo respiro come brezza d'estate
se almeno per un momento
nel tuo ascolto come un cane riuscissi ad accovacciarmi
troverei un piccolo posto dove sedermi
mentre dall'altra parte del muro vedo
che anche tu cerchi un piccolo posto dove riposare in pace
lontano dall'ansia e dalla paura
e dalla tempesta di odio e di arroganza
che ogni giorno sulla nostra vita incombe come una cupola scura e cupa
cielo suburbano grigio suolo
e poi ci sediamo
su entrambi i lati dell'inferriata
e insieme in equilibrio riposiamotu scendi,
io vado su
e io scendo e tu vai su
ancora ed ancoraancora e ancora
su e giù
giù e su
e di nuovo
all'improvviso il nostro fragile e precario sempre
sotto questo grigio cielo suburbano
diventa una canzone di una sola voce
diventa un'altalena
solo per caso da questo o dall'altro lato del muro
su e giù
in alto e in basso
e di nuovo
ti guardo e nei tuoi occhi mi riconosco
forse un giorno ci prenderemo per mano
oltre questo fossato di odio e di lacrime
un sentiero
e passi insieme
verso un sogno di spazio e di vento
una mano a chi apre la strada
una mano indietro a chi e più debole e solo
insieme
torneremo a casa
cielo grigio
periferia del mondo
...........
grey soil suburban sky
through the barricades I can see your eyes
clear and bright
as if they were hands trying to reach me, touch me
only a bandage of hate can hide your gaze away from me
the more I pretend not to see, the more I recognize myself
in your breath like summer breeze
if only for a moment
in your listening like a dog I could crouch
I'd find a small place to sit
meanwhile on the other side of the wall I see
that you too are looking for a small place to rest in peace
away from the anxiety and fear
and from the storm of hatred and arrogance
that every day over our lives dominates as a dark and somber dome
grey soil suburban sky
and then we sit on both sides of the gate
and only together in balance we do rest
you go down I go up and I go down and you go up
over and over
again and again
up and down
down and up
and again
all at once our fragile and precarious always
under this grey suburban sky
is a song of one voice only
it is a swing
only by chance on this or the other side of the wall
up and down
high and low
and again
I look at you I regognize myself in your eyes
maybe one day we will take each other by the hand
beyond this trench of hatred and tears
through the barricades I can see your eyes
clear and bright
as if they were hands trying to reach me, touch me
only a bandage of hate can hide your gaze away from me
the more I pretend not to see, the more I recognize myself
in your breath like summer breeze
if only for a moment
in your listening like a dog I could crouch
I'd find a small place to sit

over and over

up and down
down and up

all at once our fragile and precarious always
under this grey suburban sky
is a song of one voice only
it is a swing
only by chance on this or the other side of the wall
up and down
high and low
and again
I look at you I regognize myself in your eyes
maybe one day we will take each other by the hand
beyond this trench of hatred and tears
beyond this border
a path
and steps together
towards a dream of space and wind
a hand to those who open the way
a hand back for those who are weaker and alone
together
we will go home
grey sky
suburburs of the world
a path
and steps together
towards a dream of space and wind
a hand to those who open the way
a hand back for those who are weaker and alone
together
we will go home
grey sky
suburburs of the world
