I hurt myself today

to see if I still feel

I focus on the pain

the only thing that's real

the needle tears a hole

the old familiar sting

try to kill it all away

but I remember everything

what have I become?


my sweetest friend

everyone I know

goes away in the end

and you could have it all

my empire of dirt



I will let you down

I will make you hurt



I wear this crown of thorns


upon my liar's chair

full of broken thoughts

I cannot repair

beneath the stains of time

the feelings disappear

you are someone else

I am still right here



what have I become?


my sweetest friend

everyone I know

goes away in the end

and you could have it all

my empire of dirt



I will let you down

I will make you hurt



if I could start again


a million miles away

I would keep myself

I would find a way


L'originale dei Nine Inch Nails

Traduzione

Old pirates, yes, they rob i;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took i
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.
Won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom? -
cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? ooh!
Some say its just a part of it:
Weve got to fulfil de book.

Wont you help to sing
These songs of freedom? -
cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.

While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say its just a part of it:
Weve got to fulfil de book.
Wont you help to sing
Dese songs of freedom? -
cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs -
All I ever had:
Redemption songs:
These songs of freedom,
Songs of freedom.

Traduzione del testo

In questo girotondo d'anime

chi si volta è perso e resta qua

io so per certo amico

mi son voltato anch'io

e per raggiungerti ho dovuto correre

ma più mi guardo in giro e vedo che,

c'è un mondo che va avanti anche se

se tu non ci sei più

se tu non ci sei più



e dimmi perché

in questo girotondo d' anime

non c'è un posto

per scrollarsi via di dosso

quello che ci è stato detto

e quello che ormai si sa

e allora sai che c'è




c'è che c'è, c'è che prendo un treno

che va a paradiso città

e vi saluto a tutti e salto su

prendo il treno e non ci penso più



un viaggio ha senso solo senza ritorno

se non in volo

senza fermate nè confini

solo orizzonti neanche troppo lontani

io mi prenderò il mio posto

e tu seduta lì al mio fianco

mi dirai destinazione paradiso

paradiso città.
