Alzati Giuseppe traducción al Inglés

for you that know your loneliness
is a lie to get through the day
for you that wish to go back south
and meanwhile empty ashtrays

for you that have always saved up

(…)
are still living a fairytale

going, coming
ending, beginning

finding, losing

for you that kill off evenings playing cards
for you living terrified of a shingle
for you keeping all your dreams in a box
for you trying to imitate Pelè
For you laughing, and not knowing why

for you that talk speak gibber prattle always of politics
and carry on with the pills
for you, heart in an amusement park
and fall in love with dolls

for you counting your zits
every morning before the coffee
for you playing your harmonica
laying in a strawberry field

(…)
enjoying, despairing
soiling, cleaning
opening, closing

for you living all year long in a montgomery
for you betting your life at the lottery
for you always drowning in watermelons
for you leaving all the things half done
for you imploring a little bit of charity

Rise, Joseph
you already lost too much time
Rise, Joseph
towards your freedom

Rise, Joseph
you're a thousand centuries old
Rise, Joseph
if you wish to, you will fly

for you that go like a sleepwalker
in the air dense of mist
for you that when you were younger
you did some foolish stuff

for you, always blathering
only because you've got a desk
for you scampering in the dust
in a suburban street

cutting, sewing
taking off, returning
emptying, filling
getting up, getting down

for you drowning your sadness on a table
for you looking for luck around a corner
for you that still haven't done a heck
for you that look like another one with a toupee
for you that suffer and don't know why

Rise, Joseph
you already lost too much time
Rise, Joseph
towards your freedom

Rise, Joseph
you're a thousand centuries old
Rise, Joseph
if you wish to, you will fly
