Sbagliato

It's been a while, quite a while
I'm still the same, always ready to go
But I won't forget that I planted in a field
A precious memory that will bloom
In a hefty bill or in the sad record
Of being the most in love man in the world
A convinced dreamer, lost in the maze
Between excitement and the ghosts of fame

There's someone dancing
Under a starry sky
There's a couple laughing and kissing
On the grass of a meadow
A simple tune
In a tangled world
A right song
In a wrong world

What a crazy place this is
What an absurd mix of things
If an alien were to witness
These love skirmishes
It wouldn't want to go back
A thousand light-years or even a meter
We are humans and we're strangers to them
We love to get ourselves into big messes

It's been a while, feels like it was a flash
We were kids and now here we are
With the usual crises and glasses on our noses
And a more realistic idea of happiness
But still always on alert, lurking among the branches
Nocturnal animals born free
Unwilling to compromise on matters of honor
Facing, if needed, even the adversities

There's someone dancing
Under a starry sky
There's a couple laughing and kissing
On the grass of a meadow
A simple tune
In a tangled world
A right song
In a wrong world

Violetta, don’t leave me alone
To dance with melancholy
Let’s turn it into madness
Follow my lead, keep me company
Everything that has nothing to do
With the waltz, don’t consider
Grab my hands gently
And in the bliss, let yourself go

And I can never stay still
And I can never stay calm
This music I feel inside
Always plays, it leaves me no escape
The easy life isn’t for us
Who were born with rhythm in our veins
Who have blood like the choppy sea
And we melt like coarse salt
When someone starts the real rumba
In this corner of a dance hall
In this life that’s never too late
We are the wandering shepherds of leopards
We look at the sky full of questions
Like microbes with big hearts
We fall in love like magnets
And we gravitate like planets
In a celestial dance that spins our heads
Wrong and disoriented
Since the day we were thrown
On this earth where our lives
Are as brief as foam
On the crest of a wave
So that no one sinks

Nice to have your company
Enjoy like God commands
The world is wrong but
We are a great band
We are a great band
