The night and the day

You know, if you want to stay
Let everybody go
Stay here and think of the hours we have lost.
Soaked like the coming days
And from the eyes to the hands
They go on and on
A foot ahead and a fire behind
The night closes the day’s eyes
From far away you have come
Dressed in your last thought
Here there are no diseases
To prevent you from staying
You know my faults:
Crying and never knowing what to do.
But you stay here
A foot ahead and a fire behind
The night closes the day’s eyes
A foot ahead and a fire behind
The steps shine between glasses and hay
The night closes my eyes

(Translation by F.Zucchi)
