Il Peso Del Coraggio
Fiorella Mannoia
The Weight of Courage
These are empty spaces
These voids of happiness
These absurd beliefs
All these distractions
That make us lose
They are like black holes
These holes in thoughts
We pretend nothing
We've been doing it forever
We forget
That everyone has their part in this big scene
That everyone has their rights
Everyone has their back
To bear the weight of every choice
The weight of every step, the weight of courage
And I understood that time doesn't always heal wounds
That there are fewer and fewer friendly people
That there is no surrender without regret
That what I expect is only what I demand
And I've learned to accept that loved ones betray
That loves, even the greatest, eventually end
That there is nothing wrong with forgiveness
That if I'm not mistaken, I don't understand who I am
These devotions
These manias of superiority
There are still those who make war
Who know no shame
Who forget
