Che bella libertà
Renato Zero
What a Beautiful Freedom
Where are you
Freedom
Drunk on words and flags
Who will say
That silence is really freedom
Who will say
That too much freedom can kill
Here in the city
Everything goes
Everything goes, if the engines don’t stop
While then
Freedom, you can never breathe!
Who knows
How much it costs to keep the heart going
And I’ll pay my debts
I just want to buy clear skies
Try again to lose myself
With the mountains, with the sea, with whoever
With this life, get back in tune
Make love with whoever I want
Have a dream that’s just mine
Laugh or cry only if I feel like it!
Let’s go outside, don’t keep us locked up here
In crystal prisons
In this world, always the same… What a beautiful freedom!
It will rain
It won’t rain
Even here, someone has already predicted everything
But who is
This god who isn’t really God!
How can
One man do so much harm
While then, freedom
Never resembles us
Who knows
How much it costs to keep the heart going
The world shows off its tentacles
Lives sold without too many miracles
A howling of sirens and then
Only tomorrow will they find out who you are
On the walls, you write your anger
What you love, what you hate the most
Let’s find a place for this freedom
Dress it, love it, sleep with it, who knows
Who knows if it won’t come back again
Freedom, this desire of yours to hug me
This desire of mine to follow you
What a beautiful freedom!
