(C. Baglioni)
You will have smiles on your face like crickets and stars in August
stories photographed inside a leather-bound album
thunder of supersonic planes that make you raise your head
and the darkness at dawn that turns silver at the window.
You will have a telephone nearby which already means waiting
foam of crazy surf chasing each other in the sea
and white trousers to take out that it is already summer
and a train to America without stops.
You will have two sweeter tears to dry
a sun that kills itself and cockle fishermen
and snow of mountain and rain of hills
you will have a stick of cremino to suck
you will have an immature woman and a young pain
avenue of burning leaves to set your heart on fire
you will have a chair to rest on and hours
empty like chocolate eggs
and a friend who will have disappointed you, betrayed you, deceived you
you will have, you will have, you will have your time to go far away
you will walk forgetting, you will stop dreaming
you will have, you will have, you will have the same sad hope as me
and you will feel that you have never loved enough
if love, love, love,
you will have new words to look for when evening comes
br/>and a hundred bridges to cross and make the railing ring
the first cigarette that smokes in your mouth a little cough
Christmas of holly and red candles
you will have a job to sweat
br/>mornings soaked in shivers and dew
electronic games and stones in the street
you will have memories, umbrellas and keys to forget
you will have caresses to talk to the dogs
and it will always be on Sunday tomorrow
you will have conversations locked inside and hands
that search the pockets of life
and a radio to hear that the war is over
you will have, you will have, you will have your time to go far away
you will walk forgetting, you will stop dreaming
you will have, you will have, you will have the same sad hope as me
and you will feel that you have never loved enough
if love, love, love, you will have
if love, love, love, you will have, you will have
if love, love, love, you will have
if love, love, love, you will have
