| Le Aquile (original) | Le Aquile (translation) |
|---|---|
| Il vento gonfiava le mie vesti | The wind swelled my clothes |
| di veramente stabile erano le mie scarpe nere | my black shoes were really stable |
| alle caviglie ortopediche. | to orthopedic ankles. |
| Un tempo passavo ore in palestra | I used to spend hours in the gym |
| continuai a inseguirla per inerzia. | I continued to chase her by inertia. |
| La vidi stagliarsi tra alberi e cielo | I saw her stand out between trees and sky |
| e dopo un piccolo volo | and after a short flight |
| camminare monca e rapida | walking short and fast |
| avrete anche voi visto | you will also have seen |
| camminare le acquile. | walk the eagles. |
