Translation of Cigno Nero from Italian to English
Your heart beats in time
A new rhythm never heard before
And from the little that I listen to it
It's already my favorite piece
I've been eating shit for twenty years
But I don't lose my appetite
Then they even make me mop it up with my finger
Lips taste of smoke
Mixed with Pampero
Makes the head heavy
But the heart lighter
And you are the black swan
Tired of following the flock
And the heart as big as the sun
But as cold as marble
Neither young nor big
Hail rains in the heart
Tonight no alcohol
I want to drink my tears
And a crack above the chest
That becomes a chasm
To which you can't inject collagen
I am without scruples and you are without character
Let's take off our clothes, but keep our masks
If you look at me closely you won't see my eyes blink
Who dreams with open eyes loses the use of the eyelids
The tear that burns
The wind consumes it
The black that dirties me
So then it washes off
And all that I have lost
I lose it again
I keep inside the emptiness
That of you remains to me
And what would be the point of telling each other that we loved each other
So much so when the record comes out we will have already left each other
Let's enjoy the moment because sooner or later it ends
Love often takes but then does not give back
I'm still waiting for the heart that I lent him
If life teaches I am a terrible student
It's as if we were racing
It's a long start but in the end it's not that far
Yeah, you're beautiful and damned
The missing half of a poisoned apple
And I seek relief in a dose of poison
Like someone who was breastfed by someone with snakes in their chest
With the awareness that there is no certainty
Come stay close to me, yes but at a safe distance
I gave you a finger instead you took my heart
And I've always been prone to mood swings of love
The tear that burns
The wind consumes it
The black that dirties me
So then it washes off
And all that I have lost
I lose it again
I keep inside the emptiness
That of you remains to me
And your name was written in pencil
To be able to erase you once it's over
Between you and me you know
You're the most beautiful mistake of my life
Your name was written in pencil
To be able to erase you once it's over
Between you and me you know
You're the most beautiful mistake of my life
The tear that burns
The wind consumes it
The black that dirties me
So then it washes off
And all that I have lost
I lose it again
I keep inside the emptiness
That of you remains to me
