I live in a house on a hill
And I will use the car three times a month
With 2000 lire of petrol I go down to the village
How many lizards cross the road
They go fast and I am more careful to avoid them
How many gardens of orange and lemon trees
Balconies overflowing with geraniums
For Easter or when we get married
We use rose petals to wash ourselves
And the lizards cross the road
How different and the same is their world from mine
Living further south to find my star
And the skies and seas first where I was
Pass by the fish market
Take the collars for the dogs at the pharmacy
And collect the cathedral glasses of the gazebo
The incandescent fire of the volcano
Move away ² the power of the Redcoats
And how inhuman it all seems
And certain leaders then and today and certain masses
How many ghosts cross our path
Returning south to follow my destiny
The next stage of my journey within me
To find my star and the skies and seas before where I was
