Mi manchi - Roberto Vecchioni

Così a distanza d’anni aprì la mano

E aveva tre monete d’oro finto

Forse per questo non sorrise

Forse per questo non disse «ho vinto»

Richiuse il pugno, roba di un minuto

Per non sentirlo vuoto

E mi manchi

E la ragazza fece opplà una sera

E fu un opplà da rimanerci incinta

Vestì di bianco ch’era primavera

E nella polaroid sorrise convinta

Fecero seguito invitati tristi

E dodici antipasti

E mi manchi, mi manchi, e mi manchi

E quando dodici anni fa dal bagno

Gli disse «è tardi, devo andare…»

Pensò che si trattasse di un impegno

Non dodici anni senza ritornare

Da allora vinse quasi sempre tutto

E smise di pensare

E mi manchi, mi manchi, e mi manchi

Ma finché canto ti ho davanti

Gli anni sono solo dei momenti

Tu sei sempre stata qui davanti

So years later he opened his hand

And he had three fake gold coins

Maybe that's why he didn't smile

Maybe that's why he didn't say "I won"

He closed his fist, a minute's stuff

Not to feel empty

And I miss you

And the girl did opplà one evening

And it was an opplà to get pregnant

She wore white that was spring

And in the Polaroid she smiled with conviction

Sad guests followed

And twelve appetizers

And I miss you, I miss you, and I miss you

And when twelve years ago from the bathroom

She told him "it's late, I have to go ..."

She thought it was a commitment

Not twelve years without returning

Since then she almost always won everything

And she stopped thinking

And I miss you, I miss you, and I miss you

But as long as I sing I have you in front of me

Years are just moments

You have always been here in front
