Autunno Dolciastro - Carmen Consoli

Lentamente tra una pagina e l’altra di un libro qualunque

Ingannavo l’attesa, già settembre

Poche voci distanti e un autunno distratto al di là dei vetri

Quasi speravo che non arrivassi più

Quasi credevo che non mi mancassi

Eppure stavo aspettando

Distrarsi sembrava piuttosto facile

Credevo di sopportare la tua indifferenza

Cercando pretesti e rimedi inutili

Eri tu quel tasto dolente

Eri tu, autunno dolciastro, eri tu

Freddamente valutavo i miei limiti

I gesti avventati, le frequenti rinunce

Era tardi e bruciavano gli occhi

Fissavo il soffitto, il mio letto disfatto

Quasi speravo che non arrivassi più

Quasi credevo che non mi mancassi

Eppure stavo aspettando

Distrarsi sembrava piuttosto facile

Credevo di sopportare la tua indifferenza

Cercando pretesti e rimedi inutili

Credevo di soffocare la mia insofferenza

Eri tu quel tasto dolente

Eri tu, autunno dolciastro

Eri tu quel tasto dolente

Eri tu, autunno dolciastro

Autunno dolciastro, autunno dolciastro

Autunno dolciastro, autunno dolciastro

Autunno

Slowly between one page and another of any book

I was deceiving the wait, already in September

A few distant voices and a distracted autumn beyond the windows

I almost hoped you would not arrive anymore

I almost thought I didn't miss you

Yet I was waiting

Getting distracted seemed easy enough

I thought I could bear your indifference

Looking for useless pretexts and remedies

You were that sore point

It was you, sweet autumn, it was you

I coldly assessed my limits

The rash gestures, the frequent renunciations

It was late and their eyes stung

I stared at the ceiling, at my unmade bed

I almost hoped you would not arrive anymore

I almost thought I didn't miss you

Yet I was waiting

Getting distracted seemed easy enough

I thought I could bear your indifference

Looking for useless pretexts and remedies

I thought I was suffocating my impatience

You were that sore point

It was you, sweet autumn

You were that sore point

It was you, sweet autumn

Sweet autumn, sweet autumn

Sweet autumn, sweet autumn

Fall
