Paolo Conte il quadrato e il cerchio

Select language to translate this lyric

I saw the gray sky
and yellow and black arrows
crossing long
and wide spaces in a greedy square while I...
... I thought about the circle that
no one sees, but one feels
tremble and vibrate like
an Indian lake of air, here I am...
I saw a swimming pool with
yellow and black checks.. . nouveau riche
arrived yesterday in a hurry
what do I think?..
I was thinking of a friend who was also distantly Indian, perhaps
a leader or an extra at the cinema,
what do I want?..
ah, let me wash
ah, let me swim
ah, ah, ah, let me vanish
time is a circle that ends
where it begins.. not even a crack interrupts it like
when I think..
I speak of my Indian silence
a dialect of distant mirrors
and clouds speaking, that's how I write...
ah, let me dry
ah, let me warm up
ah, ah, ah, let me vanish
