La Forza Della Vita

Renato Russo Renato Russo

The Strength of Life

Even when we throw ourselves away
Out of anger or cowardice
For an inconsolable love
Even when at home
It's the most uninhabitable place
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
With it
My 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
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 sell the afterlife

When you feel
It grasps your fingers
You'll recognize it
The strength of life
That will drag you
With it
Never let yourself go
Don't leave me without you

Even inside the prisons
Of our hypocrisy
Even at the bottom of hospitals
In the new illness
There's a force that watches over you
And you'll recognize
It's the most stubborn strength in us
That dreams and never gives up

It's the will
Most fragile and infinite
Our dignity
My love, it's the strength of life
That never asks
What eternity is
But fights every day with us
Until it ends

When you feel (the strength is within us)
It grasps your fingers (my love sooner or later)
You'll recognize it (you'll feel it)
The strength of life
That will drag you
With it
Whispering tenderly
Look how much life there still is
