Sintonia Imperfetta - Carmen Consoli

Quel pomeriggio si passava da un divano all’altro

Qualunque frase era ingombrante in pieno agosto

Io ti chiedevo più attenzioni e un minimo di slancio

Mentre l’arrosto di tua madre mi rendeva omaggio

Ah voglio vivere così

Col sole in fronte

L’amore ai tempi dei miei nonni era sognante

Ricordo come fosse ieri il nostro primo incontro

Tu eri un po' ubriaco e intento a fare colpo

Parlavi di finanziamenti a tasso agevolato

Cessioni, transazioni e ahimè ricerche di mercato

Ah voglio vivere così

Col sole in fronte

L’amore ai tempi dei miei nonni era sognante

Tra di noi regnava un’ostinata consuetudine

Una sintonia imperfetta

Tra di noi regnava una profonda solitudine

La forza di inerzia

Una sintonia sommersa

Quel pomeriggio si passava da un divano all’altro

Mentre studiavo a come dirti che ti avrei lasciato

Tu già dormivi al 40° di Roma — Lazio

Pensavo io a tua madre e al cane da portare a spasso

Ah voglio vivere così

Col sole in fronte

L’amore ai tempi dei miei nonni era sognante

Tra di noi regnava un’ostinata consuetudine

Una sintonia imperfetta

Tra di noi regnava una profonda solitudine

La forza di inerzia

Una sintonia perversa

Tra di noi regnava una profonda solitudine

La forza di inerzia

Una sintonia imperfetta

Quel pomeriggio eri un tutt’uno col divano grigio

L’avrei dovuto già capire sin dal primo incontro

That afternoon we passed from one sofa to another

Any sentence was cumbersome in the middle of August

I was asking you for more attention and a minimum of momentum

While your mother's roast paid me homage

Ah I want to live like this

With the sun in front

Love in the days of my grandparents was dreamy

I remember our first meeting like yesterday

You were a little drunk and intent on making an impression

You were talking about subsidized loans

Sales, transactions and, alas, market research

Ah I want to live like this

With the sun in front

Love in the days of my grandparents was dreamy

A stubborn custom reigned among us

An imperfect harmony

A profound loneliness reigned between us

The force of inertia

A submerged harmony

That afternoon we passed from one sofa to another

While I was studying how to tell you I was going to leave you

You were already sleeping at the 40th of Rome - Lazio

I was taking care of your mother and the dog to take for a walk

Ah I want to live like this

With the sun in front

Love in the days of my grandparents was dreamy

A stubborn custom reigned among us

An imperfect harmony

A profound loneliness reigned between us

The force of inertia

A perverse harmony

A profound loneliness reigned between us

The force of inertia

An imperfect harmony

That afternoon you were one with the gray sofa

I should have already understood this from the first meeting
