Volevamo Solo Essere Felici

Tonight I can't sleep
Someone screams from the balcony
Because they lost love or the dog
Or their revolution
Tonight it takes me around
Along the arcades and my streets
Every star is so close
The universe, a studio apartment

By now you'll have understood
That life can hurt
Make you die infinitely
From occasional pain
But tonight everything is perfect
Like a secret formula
A dim light bulb
On at the back of a shop

We just wanted to be happy
Like laughing at nothing
Chewing on bold dreams
And trusting people
Just being different
And throwing ourselves away a bit
And throwing rocks at the world
Yes, throwing ourselves away, throwing ourselves away

Tonight seems like a mirage
A scent that lasts a little
The unconsciousness that gives courage
Even to laugh in the face of emptiness
Tonight I take you around
Entangled in my thoughts
And everything seems so clean
As if we were born yesterday

But by now you'll have understood
That there was no perfect time
Now that time has faded us a bit
Like photos in a drawer
But tonight it's so light
An old movie in a premiere
A lie that seems true
I could swear on my name

We just wanted to be happy
Like laughing at nothing
Chewing on bold dreams
And trusting people
Just being different
And throwing ourselves away a bit
And throwing rocks at the world
Yes, throwing ourselves away, throwing ourselves away

But every time has its rules
Every mistake its excuses
Memory, its pages
Full of erasures
And someone from the balcony
Repeats again
'Don't you remember that?'
'Don't you remember?'

We just wanted to be happy
Like laughing at nothing
Chewing on bold dreams
And trusting people
Just being different
And throwing ourselves away a bit
And throwing rocks at the world
Yes, throwing ourselves away, throwing ourselves away
