Un Anno Di Più

Here's one more year
like the year that was
champagne will flow
for something that's happening
and for... what... will come

The fireworks that explode high in the blue
briefly light up the eyes looking up
for what... then... is no more

And the clocks tick as year after year
five minutes and this year will be gone
let's then balance between the bad and the good
five minutes and then into the new year we go

Police and bandits around the bonfire
with the street women already dancing a bit
but I... of you... I don't know

The whole family will gather
while the youngest will recite
poems... for a... dad

And the clocks tick as year after year
five minutes and this year will pass
let's then balance between the bad and the good
five minutes and then into the new year we go

But despite everything, cheers to the new year
and despite the bad, I'm here drinking
to my health as I'm still alive
for this other year I must laugh

We're close to the end of the current year
after five comes four then three
but she... why... isn't here

Let's not say goodbye but ask God
that in the coming year, give us more and more
because it's not going well down here
here's one more year
like the year that was
champagne will flow
for something that's happening
for whom... I know... will come
