Nei Giardini Che Nessuno Sa
Renato Zero
In the Gardens That No One Knows
Feel that rough skin
A great cold inside the soul
Even a tear struggles to fall
Too many expectations around the corner
Joys that don't belong to you
This irreconcilable time plays against us
This is how it ends
Nailed to a window
Melancholic spectators
Of impossible happiness
Many trips postponed and already
Empty suitcases for an eternity
That pain that you don't know what it is
Only it will never abandon you, oh never!
That discomfort is a refuge
Too much hurry in your growing up
Miracles are no longer made
Not anymore
Don't listen to those dolls
Don't touch those pills
That nun has a good character
She knows how to deal with souls
I would give you my eyes
To see what you don't see
The energy, the joy
To still pull smiles out of you
Tell you yes, always yes
And manage to make you fly
Where you want, where you know
Without that weight on your heart anymore
Hide the clouds from you
And that winter that hurts you
Heal your wounds and then
A few more teeth to eat
And then see you laugh
And then see you run again
Forget, some forget
Absentmindedly a flower on a Sunday
And then silences
And then silences
Silences
In the gardens that no one knows
You breathe futility
There is respect and great cleanliness
It's almost madness
You don't know how beautiful it is to hold you tight
To find yourself here defending you
And dressing you and combing you yes
And whispering to you not to give up
In the gardens that no one knows
How much life drags on here
Only ailments, small anemias
We are nothing without fantasies
Support them, help them
Please don't let them fall
Frail, fragile
Don't deny them a bit of your love
Stars that are silent now
But will give meaning to that sky
Men don't shine
If they are not stars too
Hands that tremble now
Because the wind blows stronger
Don't leave them now
So that death doesn't catch them
We are the incapable ones
Who sometimes, even having, don't give
Forget, some forget
Absentmindedly a flower on a Sunday
And then silences
And then silences
Silences
