Malinconia
Luca Carboni
Melancholy
Melancholy has waves like the sea, makes you go and then come back
it cradles you gently
Melancholy dances like a slow dance, you can hold it silently
and feel everything inside
it's feeling close and also far, it's traveling while standing still
it's living other lives
it's feeling like flying inside airplanes on illuminated ships
on trains you see passing by
it has the warm and red light of a sunset
of a wounded day that never wants to die
it almost seems like happiness, it almost seems like the soul that goes
the dream that mixes with reality
you can mistake it for sadness but it's just the soul that knows
that even pain will serve
and it stops for a moment to console the crying
of the wounded world that doesn't want to die
and getting lost among the dunes of the desert among the waves in the open sea
even within this city
and feeling that everything can be forgiven, that everything is always the same
meaning that everything can change
it's being silent and listening and feeling that it can be sweet
even to die one day
in the warm and red light of a sunset
of a wounded day that never wants to die
it almost seems like happiness, it almost seems like the soul that goes
the dream that mixes with reality
you can mistake it for sadness but it's just the soul that knows
that even pain will pass
and it stops for a moment to console the crying
of a wounded love that doesn't want to die
