Confusione
Lucio Battisti
Confusion
You call it just an old dirty scam
but it's a mistake, it's oil
Too clever to not be sincere
but it's truly black gold
Why shouldn't I tell you everything I feel in my heart
Why shouldn't I talk to you about everything, even about a new love of mine
are you or are you not above all my great passion
Confusion
confusion I'm sorry
if you're the daughter of the same old illusion
and if you're confused
confusion
you would like to embalm even the last and smallest emotion
If you believe that coal burns better
it's a mistake, it's oil
However, if you love the smoke of a candle more than the fire
don't use black gold
But why shouldn't I release any feeling for anyone
anyway
I wouldn't feel you any less for this
But who ever said that one must love as oneself the next one with moderation
Confusion
confusion I'm sorry
if you're the daughter of the same old illusion and if you're confused
confusion
you would like to embalm even the last and smallest emotion
Confusion confusion
And don't say that ancient privilege of man for my convenience I make mine
because you would be free anyway if you want to be free like I am
Do you believe that someone can give you love if they are not the master of love
Confusion
confusion I'm sorry
if you're the daughter of the same old illusion and if you're confused
confusion
you would like to embalm even the last and smallest emotion
