Prima Di Ogni Cosa

I look for a bit of you in De André's lyrics
There will be bruises to be proud of
Others less
But the truth, half the same
I'm just a child
That you will call dad

Because in my head I have NASA
Because I'm never home
The heart consumed like old vans
And all the slaps taken in the square
And the ink on my arms
Everything now fits
Your mother, who kisses me

The first kiss, the first day of school
The first day on trial
The first love, the first mistake
The first sun that burns you
And it's the first time for me too, seeing you
Before everything
Before everything

And I took notes for all the times
I've been wrong
I have an instruction manual where
'Destructions' is written attached
And you are the first place in this life
That seems new to me
Before everything
Before everything

A ruthless cynic
Who has never adapted
Who has never enjoyed
What life has given him
Then you arrived, and everything stopped
I would like to teach you everything
That I haven't learned

Because in my head I have NASA
Because I'm never home
The heart consumed like old vans
And all the slaps taken in the square
And the ink on my arms
Everything now fits
Your mother, who kisses me

The first kiss
The first day of school
The first day on trial
The first love
The first mistake
The first sun that burns you
And it's the first time for me, seeing you
Before everything
Before everything
And I took notes for all the times
I've been wrong
I have an instruction manual where
'Destructions' is written attached
And you are the first place in this life
That seems new to me
Before everything
Before everything
Before everything
Before everything
