The Year to Come
The Year to Come (Lucio Dalla)
Dear friend I'm writing to you, so I can distract myself a bit
and since I am very far away, I will write to you more strongly
Since you left there has been big news
the old year is over now, but something is still wrong here
We don't go out much in the evening, including when it's a holiday
and there are those who have placed sandbags near the window
And we go without speaking for entire weeks
and to those who have nothing to say about the time left
But the television said that the new year
will bring a transformation, and we are all already waiting
It will be three times Christmas and celebration all day
Every Christ will come down from the cross and even the birds will return
And there will be food, and light all year round
Even the mute will be able to speak while the deaf already do so
br/>And we will make love, each as he pleases
even priests will be able to marry, but only at a certain age
And without major disturbances someone will disappear
maybe they will be the too smart or idiots of all ages
See dear friend, what I write to you and tell you
and how happy I am to be here at this moment
See see see see, see dear friend what is needed invent
to be able to laugh about it, to continue to hope
And if this year then passed in an instant
you see my friend, how important it becomes that in this instant there is
[me too
The year that is coming in a year will pass
I'm getting ready... this is the news
I wrote this by heart, and some grandi might be many, or something
like that.
Anyway, I am Italian, and so the grammar and the sense should be correct.
