Caravan - Claudio Baglioni

come siamo cambiati

neanche il passato?

pi?

quello dei tempi andati

si sa com'?

ma non come fu

le cose stan cambiando

mentre ci cambiano

noi che stiamo ballando

l’ultimo valzer che suonano

non si esce da una storia

che non esce da noi

nelle vie di memoria

la stessa storia riaccade poi

si abbattono le statue

i piedistalli no

perch?

le cose fatue

di nuovo servono dopo un po'

perch?

fu?

o sar?

la vita un viaggio od un destino

senza l’equipaggio ma

con un ricordo clandestino

perch?

qui l?

o chiss?

qualunque cosa?

gi?

un ricordo

nebulosa o realt?

negata o benvenuta a bordo

dove va la carovana

dove vaga il caravan

piano va la carovana

vaga invano il caravan

le cose della vita

girano sempre qua

in orbita infinita

noi siamo di loro propriet?

cos?

ce le prendiamo

qui con noi vivono

quando poi ce ne andiamo

peccato loro non piangono

perch?

fu?

o sar?

la vita un viaggio od un destino

senza l’equipaggio ma

con un ricordo clandestino

perch?

qui l?

o chiss?

qualunque cosa?

gi?

un ricordo

nebulosa o realt?

negata o benvenuta a bordo

nel viaggio all’apogeo

da solo?

il re

senz’armi n?

corteo

nel rituale del t?

l’orologio del cammeo

da un tempo a s?

un grigio scarabeo

stringe pensando a te

perch?

fu?

o sar?

la vita un viaggio od un destino

senza l’equipaggio ma

con un ricordo clandestino

perch?

qui l?

o chiss?

qualunque cosa?

gi?

un ricordo

nebulosa o realt?

negata o benvenuta a bordo

dove va la carovana

dove vaga il caravan

ogni cosa cara o vana

torna come un boomerang

how we have changed

not even the past?

pi?

that of the old days

do you know how?

but not how it was

things are changing

as they change us

we who are dancing

the last waltz they play

you don't get out of a story

that does not come out of us

in the ways of memory

the same story then happens again

the statues are knocked down

the pedestals do not

why?

the foolish things

again they serve after a while

why?

was it?

or will it be?

life a journey or a destiny

without the crew but

with a clandestine memory

why?

here there

or who knows?

everything?

already

a memory

nebula or reality?

denied or welcome aboard

where the caravan goes

where the caravan roams

slowly the caravan goes

the caravan wanders in vain

the things of life

they always go around here

in infinite orbit

are we their property?

cos?

we take them

here with us they live

then when we leave

pity they don't cry

why?

was it?

or will it be?

life a journey or a destiny

without the crew but

with a clandestine memory

why?

here there

or who knows?

everything?

already

a memory

nebula or reality?

denied or welcome aboard

in the journey to the heyday

alone?

the king

without arms n?

procession

in the ritual of tea?

the cameo clock

from a time to s?

a gray beetle

tightens thinking of you

why?

was it?

or will it be?

life a journey or a destiny

without the crew but

with a clandestine memory

why?

here there

or who knows?

everything?

already

a memory

nebula or reality?

denied or welcome aboard

where the caravan goes

where the caravan roams

everything dear or in vain

comes back like a boomerang
