Un matto (original)Un matto (translation)
Tu prova ad avere un mondo nel cuore You try to have a world in your heart
e non riesci ad esprimerlo con le parole and you can't put it into words
e la luce del giorno si divide la piazza and the daylight divides the square
tra un villaggio che ride e te lo scemo che passa between a laughing village and the fool who passes by
e neppure la notte ti lascia da solo and not even the night leaves you alone
gli altri sognan se stessi e tu sogni di loro others dream of themselves and you dream of them
E sì anche tu andresti a cercare And yes, you too would go looking
le parole sicure per farti ascoltare the sure words to make you listen
per stupire mezz’ora basta un libro di storia a history book is enough to amaze half an hour
io cercai di imparare la Treccani a memoria I tried to learn the Treccani by heart
e dopo maiale, Majakowskij, malfatto and after pig, Mayakowskij, badly made
continuarono gli altri fino a leggermi matto the others continued until they read me crazy
E senza sapere a chi dovessi la vita And without knowing who I owed my life to
in un manicomio io l’ho restituita in an asylum I returned it
qui sulla collina dormo malvolentieri here on the hill I sleep unwillingly
eppure c'è luce ormai nei miei pensieri yet there is light now in my thoughts
qui nella penombra ora invento parole here in the dim light now I invent words
ma rimpiango una luce, la luce del sole but I regret a light, the light of the sun
Le mie ossa regalano ancora alla vita My bones still give life
le regalano ancora erba fiorita they still give her flowering grass
ma la vita è rimasta nelle voci in sordina but life remained in the muted voices
di chi ha perso lo scemo e lo piange in collina of those who have lost the fool and cry for him in the hills
di chi ancora bisbiglia con la stessa ironia of those who still whisper with the same irony
«una morte pietosa lo strappò alla pazzia»"A pitiful death tore him from madness"
