Felicità
Lucio Dalla
Happiness
If all the stars in the world
At a certain moment
Came down
A whole series of stars
White dust discharged from the sky
But the sky without its eyes
Wouldn't shine anymore
If all the people in the world
Without any reason
Raised their heads
And flew up
Without their mess
That painful noise
The earth, poor heart
Wouldn't beat anymore
I always miss the elastic
To keep my underwear up
So that the underwear
At the most beautiful moment falls down
Like a dream ended
Maybe an important dream
A betrayed friend
I've been betrayed too
But I don't care anymore
Between the darkness of the sky
The white bald heads
Our words move tired
We don't understand each other anymore
But I feel like talking
To listen
To keep acting like a donkey
To misbehave
And then stop doing it
Ah
Happiness
On which night train will you travel
I know
That you'll pass by
But as always in a hurry
You never stop
It would be about swimming
Taking it easy
Letting yourself be carried
Into two big eyes
Maybe blue
And to free myself
Cross a medieval sea
Look against a cross-eyed dragon
But baby dragons
There are no more
Maybe that's why dreams
Are so pale and white
And bounce tired
Between the read antennas
Of the various TVs
And they come back home
Brought by elegant gentlemen
Yes, they talk
And everyone applauds
We don't want them anymore
But if this world
Is a cardboard world
Then to be happy
Just a little thing maybe a song
Or who knows
Otherwise it would be a good idea
To try closing your eyes
And then even when you've closed your eyes
Who knows what will be
Ah
Happiness
On which night train will you travel
I know
That you'll pass by
But as always in a hurry
You never stop
Ah
Happiness
On which night train will you travel
I know
That you'll pass by
But as always in a hurry
You never stop
Ah
Happiness
On which night train will you travel
I know
That you'll pass by
But as always in a hurry
You never stop
