La Vita È Adesso

Renato Russo Renato Russo

Life Is Now

Life is now
In the old hotel of the earth
And everyone in a room
And in a story of lighter mornings
And skies overflowing with hope
And silences to listen to
And you'll be surprised to sing
But you don't know why

Life is now
In the just cool afternoons
When sleep comes to you
And the bells turn the clouds
And it rains on your hair
And over the tables of open-air cafes
And you uncertainly wonder who you are
Are you, are you, are you

It's you who pushes the heart forward
And the hard work
Of being a man and not knowing
What the future will be
It's you, in the time that makes us bigger
And alone in the middle of the world
With the anxiety of seeking together
A deeper good

And another that gives you breath
And leans towards you
With an expectation of wanting more
Without understanding what it is
And you who return my gaze
In this immense moment
Above the noise of the people
Tell me if this makes sense

Life is now
In the tender air
After lunch
And children's faces against the windows
And the meadows that smooth out like kittens
And stars sticking to the lampposts, millions
While you wonder where you are
Are you, are you, are you

It's you who will carry your love
Through a hundred and a thousand roads
Because there's never an end to the journey
Even if a dream falls
It's you who have a new wind in your arms
As you come towards me
And you'll learn that to die
All you'll need is a sunset

In a joy that hurts more
Than melancholy
And in whatever evening you find yourself
Don't throw yourself away
And don't let a day slip away
To find yourself again
Child of such a beautiful sky
Because life is now, now, now
