Video: Lasciarsi a Capodanno

BREAKING UP ON NEW YEAR'S EVE

I get up one fine morning and discover that it's New Year's Eve, 

forty-sixth in a row that I still celebrate alone

And I'm shivering between these sheets, I've turned off the snooze warmer

Anguish grips my throat, this is how the New Year begins

But how nice, how nice 

To break up on New Year's Eve

I eat an old pandoro 

hoping for something new

But it's only sparkling wine or Zabov, 

the spirit that warmed me 

oh, oh not yet

I rummage through my mobile, looking for good memories 

We were never together, it's today's tragic insight

Yet I had believed, deluded, I had hoped

Forty-six years in a row, that I spend the holidays alone

But how nice, how nice 

To break up on New Year's Eve

I'm eating an old trotter 

hoping for a better world

But it's just a Ferrero Rocher, the dessert that's left of you

It's just a glow of Spritz, the fires they light here

I remain a great taboo, to love once and then more

I pass through the stars and who knows, I have friends in the hereafter
