I vecchi amori - Vinicio Capossela

Se ne vanno via

I vecchi amori

Vanno via

E ci lasciano soli

Quasi che

Mai fossero esistiti

Eran qui

Ma son gia' spariti

E li rivedi

Come in un film di ieri

Appannati

Nel fondo dei bicchieri

Quasi quasi ti stupisci

Della loro discrezione

E non capisci

Se sia stata una finzione

E che ridicolo che e'

Incontrare i loro volti

Come stai

Che stai facendo

Ti chiedono ridendo

E allora vivono soltanto

Nelle chiacchiere di notte

In quei discorsi

Coi tuoi amici piu' delusi

E un nuovo amore

E' l’unico soltanto

Che possa far rivivere

Quel tuo vecchio cuore infranto

E che ridicolo che e'

Incontrare i loro volti

Come stai

Che stai facendo

Ti chiedono ridendo

They go away

Old loves

Go away

And they leave us alone

Almost that

They never existed

They were here

But they are already gone

And review them

Like in a movie of yesterday

Fogged up

In the bottom of the glasses

You are almost astonished

Of their discretion

And you don't understand

If it was a fiction

And how ridiculous it is

Meet their faces

How are you

What are you doing

They ask you laughing

And then they only live

In the talk at night

In those speeches

With your most disappointed friends

And a new love

It is the only one

May it revive

That old broken heart of yours

And how ridiculous it is

Meet their faces

How are you

What are you doing

They ask you laughing
