L'Anno Che Verrà

Dear friend, I write to you, so I distract myself a bit
And since you are very far away, I will write to you louder
Since you left, there's a big news
The old year is over now
But something still isn't right here

We go out little in the evening, even on holidays
And some have put sandbags near the window
And we stay without talking for entire weeks
And for those who have nothing to say
Time remains

But the television said that the new year
Will bring a transformation
And we are all already waiting
It will be like Christmas three times and party all day
Every Christ will come down from the cross
Even the birds will return

There will be food and light all year
Even the mute will be able to speak
While the deaf already do

And everyone will make love as they please
Even the priests will be able to marry
But only at a certain age
And without great disturbances, someone will disappear
Maybe the too clever ones
And the fools of all ages

See dear friend what I write to you and tell you
And how happy I am
To be here in this moment
See, see, see, see
See dear friend what must be invented
To be able to laugh about it
To continue to hope

And if this year then passed in an instant
See my friend
How important it becomes
That in this moment I am also here

The year that is coming will pass in a year
I am getting ready, this is the news
