A song that would tell the beginning and the end
The unheard sorrow and the eternal joys
The incomplete past, the uncertain future
Here, a gunshot there, a flutter of wings
All the regressions, all the advances
And the hands that brush against each other on the back seat
The first loves and the last kisses
The beginning of the journey and the end of a war

A song that would tell the entrance and the exit
The indelible rage and the sleeping peace
The minute too much where suddenly everything wobbles
And the endless hours staring at the sun
The screens that we break and those that we demand
Alone at the show on New Year's Eve
The distress of a laugh, the power of a drama
In a word, the magic of being always alive

The deep enigma
The intimate and the world
The deep enigma

A song that would tell the night that sways
And the day that rises with its head in its hands
The shattered shop windows and the wind in the branches
Yesterday's revolts and those of tomorrow
The feverish adolescence blackening each page
To escape the cages that she already senses
Old age imploring that there be in the vicinity
Passers-by to tell her what time it is now

A song that would tell the Mediterranean
The dreams that take water and the summer that returns
The same confrontations since eternity
The axe of history that breaks destinies
The arrogance from above and the anger from below
The stars that burn above the chaos
The immobile ships under the sky of Odessa
And Tehran standing up singing Bella ciao

The deep enigma
The intimate and the world
The deep enigma

A song that would tell the hands that detach
The heart that no longer beats like the first mornings
The falls that impose themselves, the victories that we snatch
The voices that we forget and the words that we retain
The desire to be alone in an invented city
Then to be with one's own because everything is going haywire
A game of chess at the next door bistro
The violence of borders, the beauty of countries

The courage to do and the courage to undo
Having been so far and starting all over again
The hope of a sister, the hope of a brother
Feeling that everything is collapsing and still singing
This euphoric crowd for a football match
The playground at 8 o'clock in the morning
The song of certainties the noise of doubt
The infinity of the road
And your eyes in mine

The deep enigma
The intimate and the world
The deep enigma
The intimate and the world

A song that would tell the beginning and the end
The unheard sorrow and the eternal joys (the deep enigma)
The incomplete past, the uncertain future
Here, a gunshot there, a flutter of wings (the intimate and the world)
All the regressions, all the advances
And the hands that brush against each other on the back seat (the deep enigma)
The first loves and the last kisses
The beginning of the journey and the end of a war (the intimate and the world)
