La Forza Della Vita
Paolo Vallesi
The Strength of Life
Even when we throw ourselves away
Out of anger or cowardice
For an inconsolable love
Even when home is more unbearable
And you cry and don't know what you want
Believe there's a strength in us, my love
Stronger than the sparkle
Of this crazy and useless world
It's stronger than an incomprehensible death
And this nostalgia that never leaves us
When you touch the bottom with your fingers
Suddenly you'll feel the strength of life
That will drag you along
Love, you don't know
You'll see there's a way out
Even when you eat out of pain
And in silence you hear the heart
Like an unbearable noise
And you don't want to get up anymore
And the world is unreachable
And even when hope
Will no longer be enough
There's a will that challenges this death
It's our dignity, the strength of life
That never asks what eternity is
Even if there are those who offend it
Or those who sell the afterlife
When you feel it grabbing your fingers
You'll recognize it, the strength of life
That will drag you along
Never let yourself go
Don't leave me without you
Even inside the prisons
Of our hypocrisy
Even at the bottom of hospitals
Of the new disease
There's a strength that watches over you
And that you'll recognize
It's the most stubborn strength in us
That dreams and never gives up
Chorus: It's the will
Most fragile and infinite
Our dignity
The strength of life
My love, it's the strength of life
That never asks
What eternity is
But fights every day with us
Until it ends
Chorus: When you feel
It grabbing your fingers
You'll recognize
The strength of life
The strength is within us
My love, sooner or later you'll feel it
The strength of life
That will drag you along
That whispers tenderly
"Look how much life there still is!"
