Costruzione (Construçao)

Amò tutta la notte come fosse l'ultima
Baciò la donna sua come se fosse l'ultima
Ed ogni figlio suo come se fosse l'unico
E attraversò la strada col suo passo timido
Salì la costruzione come fosse macchina
Alzò sul ballatoio due pareti solide
Mattone per mattone in un disegno magico
Con gli occhi pieni zeppi di cemento e lacrime
Sedette a riposare come fosse sabato
Mangiò pane e formaggio come fosse un principe
Bevette e singhiozzò come se fosse un naufrago
Ballò e gorgogliò come se ascoltasse musica
Ed inciampò nel cielo come un vecchio comico
E fluttuò nell'aria come fosse un passero
A terra si afflosciò come un paccheto flaccido
Agonizzò nel mezzo del passeggio pubblico
Si spense contromano ostacolando il traffico
Amò tutta la notte come fosse l'ultimo
Baciò la donna sua come se fosse l'unica
Ed ogni figlio suo come se fosse il prodigo
E attraversò la strada col suo passo comico
Salì la costruzione come fosse un solido
Alzò sul ballatoio due parete magiche
Mattone per mattone in un disegno logico
Con gli occhi pieni zeppi di cemento e traffico
Sedette a riposare come fosse un principe
Mangiò pane e formaggio come fosse il massimo
Bevette e singhiozzò come se fosse macchina
Ballò e gorgogliò come se fosse il prossimo
Ed inciampò nel ciel come ascoltasse musica
E fluttuò nell'aria come fosse sabato
A terra si afflosciò come un pacchetto timido
Agonizzò nel mezzo del passaggio naufrago
Si spense contromano ostacolando il pubblico
Amò tutta la notte come fosse macchina
Baciò la donna sua come se fosse logico
Alzò sul ballatoio due pareti flaccide
Sedette a riposare come fosse un passero
E fluttuò nell'aria come fosse principe
A terra si afflosciò come un pacchetto comico
Si spense contromano ostacolando il sabato

Construction (Construçao)

He loved the whole night as if it were his last
He kissed his woman as if she were the only one
And each of his sons as if he were a prodigal
And he crossed the street with his timid step
He climbed up the building as if he were a machine
He raised two strong walls on the balcony
Brick by brick in a magical design
With his eyes full of cement and tears
He sat down to rest as if it were Saturday
He ate bread and cheese as if he were a prince
He drank and sobbed as if he were a castaway
He danced and gurgled as if he were listening to music
And he stumbled upon the sky like an old comedian
And he floated through the air like he was a sparrow
On the ground he collapsed like a flaccid package
He passed away in the middle of the public walk
He died on the wrong side of the road, blocking the traffic
He loved the whole night as if it were his last
He kissed his woman as if she were the only one
And each of his sons as if he were the prodigal
And he crossed the street with his comic step
He climbed up the building as if he were a solid
He raised two magical walls on the balcony
Brick by brick in a logical design
With his eyes full of cement and traffic
He sat down to rest as if he were a prince
He ate bread and cheese as if it were the best
He drank and sobbed as if he were a machine
He danced and gurgled as if he were the next one
And he stumbled upon the sky as if he were listening to music
And he floated through the air as if it were Saturday
On the ground he collapsed like a timid package
He passed away in the middle of the passage as a castaway
He died on the wrong side of the road, blocking the public
He loved the whole night as if he were a machine
He kissed his woman as if it were logical
He raised two flaccid walls on the balcony
He sat down to rest as if he were a sparrow
And he floated through the air as if he were a prince
On the ground he collapsed like a comical package
He died on the wrong side of the road, blocking Saturday
