Chissà
Gerardina Trovato
Who Knows
While the stars form the Big Dipper
on this chilly night
in a nearly empty bar
we've been talking for an hour about who knows
what the sea would be like without salt
why we kiss every time
even without love
My friend, let me light up again
and don’t count my drinks
You do your eyes up every night and tell me
"they're too small"
but sometimes you move them, smile,
sometimes you open them
and every time you don’t know
that when you look at me, you make them disappear
But who knows if she knows it’s not a game
but who knows if she knows it’s not a little thing
but who knows if she knows everything in the world can end
but who knows if she knows even a star can die
While the stars look like pins
on this chilly night
how funny you are when you tell me
"I have too many brothers"
But who knows why the more you talk, the more jealous I get
I don’t know what it feels like, maybe because
I grew up alone
But who knows if she knows it’s not a game
but who knows if she knows it’s not a little thing
but who knows if she knows everything in the world can end
but who knows if she knows even a star can die
Everything passes, only she can hurt me
100 guys but she can’t be replaced
but who knows if she knows that not everything is always everything
but who knows if she knows that all of this is love
who knows
