E Ti Vengo A Cercare
Franco Battiato
And I Come Looking for You
And I come looking for you
Even just to see you or talk to you
Because I need your presence
To better understand my essence.
This popular feeling
Arises from divine mechanics
A mystical and sensual abduction
Imprisons me to you.
I should change the object of my desires
Not settle for small daily joys
Act like a hermit
Who renounces oneself.
And I come looking for you
With the excuse of having to talk to you
Because I like what you think and say
Because in you I see my roots.
This century now at its end
Saturated with parasites without dignity
Only drives me to be better
With more will.
Free myself from the nightmare of passions
Seek the One above Good and Evil
Be a divine image
Of this reality.
And I come looking for you
Because I feel good with you
Because I need your presence.
