Dolcenera
Fabrizio De André
Sweet Black
Love her like the air loves her like it is like it is
Love her like the air that is there that is there
Love her like the air loves her like it is
Love her like the air that is there that is there
Black that takes away that takes away the way
Black that was not seen for a whole life so sweet black
Black that hits hard that knocks down the doors
It's not the water that makes you float
Float float
Black of bad luck that kills and moves on
Black like misfortune that makes a den where there is no moon moon
Black of bitter springs that pass the coffins
Another to be amazed
We don't have it we don't have it
But Anselmo's wife must not know
That she came for me
She arrived an hour ago
And love has love as the only subject
And the turmoil of the sky chose the wrong moment
Water that expects nothing but blessed
Water that brings bad rises from the stairs rises without salt rises
Water that breaks the mountain that sinks land and bridge
It's not the water of a branch
In a basket in a basket
But Anselmo's wife is dreaming of the sea
When it clogs the crevices it retreats and rises
And the sheet swells on the hollow of the wave
And the struggle becomes slippery and deep
Love her like the air loves her like it is like it is
Love her like the air that is there that is there
Water of sharp pins from the sky and ceilings
Water for photographs to find the accomplices to curse
Water that tightens the hips tuna of passersby
Another to be silent
We don't have it we don't have it
Beyond the wall of glass life awakens
That takes by the hand
After the battle is over
As this love does that from the anxiety of losing each other
Had in one day the certainty of having each other
Water that has made evening that now retreats
Low parades among people like an innocent who has nothing to do with it
Cold like a pain sweet black without a heart
Another to rebel
We don't have it we don't have it
And Anselmo's wife feels the water descending
From the clothes stuck from every skin frost
In her disconnected tram from every distance
In the middle of the time that she now has
So was that love with the missed ending
So splendid and true that it could deceive you
Love her like the air loves her like it is like it is
Love her like the air that is there that is there
Love her like the air loves her like it is
Love her like the air that is there that is there
