Pensieri e parole
Lucio Battisti
Thoughts and words
What do you know about a child who stole?
And he only played in the dark?
And what do you know about the sun that pierces the attics?
And what about a world all closed in one street?
And what about a suburban cinema?
What do you know about our railway, what do you know?
Know me, my loyalty
You know that today I would die for honesty
Know me, my name
Only you know whether it is true or not that I believe in God
What do you know about a wheat field?
Poetry of a profane love
The fear of being taken by the hand, what do you know?
My love (what do you know about a good boy?)
It's rock now (that showed all its pains?)
And it challenges time and it challenges the wind and you know it
(My sincerity to steal her virginity)
Yes you know (what do you know?)
There's another life ahead of me
Ours is already over
And new nights and new days
Darling, are you going or coming back with me?
In front of you there is me
(Give me strength my God) Or another man
(I ask for forgiveness now)
And new nights and new days
Darling, don't hate me if you can
You know me (what do you know about a trip to England?)
What I would give (what do you know about an Israelite love?)
So that I could find my eyes in others
(It's over with two wide eyes that called me a liar)
What do you know about a boy who loved you?
Who spoke and knew nothing?
And yet what he was saying, who knows why, who knows?
Now it's true (yes you know it)
There's another life ahead of me
Ours is already over
And new nights and new days
Darling, are you going or coming back with me?
In front of you there is me
(Give me strength my God) Or another man
(I ask for forgiveness now)
And new nights and new days
Darling, don't hate me if you can
