Lyrics Un giorno mi hai chiesto di spiegarti cos'è Kento

Un giorno mi hai chiesto di spiegarti cos'è


È il posto dove il sangue scorre caldo e calmo
E riposo gambe stanche dopo un anno camminando
È il momento di silenzio tra parole di canzoni
È come mille cose, ma è senza paragoni.
È pura matematica, preciso come l'algebra
Ma in mezzo batte forte come i tamburi in Africa.
È Zion per i Rasta, Francesco per mia madre,
Libertà per mio nonno dopo un anno dentro un Lager.
È la conferma che un istante è importante,
Ma alla cassa seguirà il rullante, il sasso si farà diamante.
Poche parole, lenzuola stese al sole
Così bianche che sembravano brillare di quel non colore.
E le fissavo così tanto da bambino
Che se poi chiudevo gli occhi mi restava il negativo.
Sono le ultime sillabe in ogni rima
Ed il primo disegno sul mio quaderno in prima.

Rit
En el verano de la vida
Mientras corres
el viento te acuerda que eres vivo
Y los arboles te acuerdan
Que eres parte del mundo

È dentro il tuo sorriso, sul tuo vestito nuovo
È casa e ogni mattone vale ore di lavoro
Era Montale quando scrisse dei limoni,
Miles Davis che toglieva note dagli assoli.
Semplice e puro, più buono che bello
È fede, ma di certo non si ferma a quell'anello.
E nasce piccolo che può dormirti in tasca,
Fallo rosso e che stia in alto come le bandiere in piazza.
È questo ed altro che non so dire
È un cerchio come un vinile, ha vite per puntine.
E non rimane moltro altro da capire...
Vuoi fermarlo? Ferma il sole la mattina in mezzo al suo salire.
E quel percorso vale più di ogni suo metro
Proprio come la parola vale più dell'alfabeto
Proprio come la musica è più che beat e rap
Proprio come "noi" siamo più che io e te.

En el verano de la vida
Mientras corres
el viento te acuerda que eres vivo
Y los arboles te acuerdan
Que eres parte del mundo

Saborea la pureza
Y Vuelve a ser niño
Sueña con ser lo que siempre quisiste
En el verano de la vida
Te das cuenta por fin
Que querer es poder

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
