The Streets

La Strada ( Las Calles )

The fertile, rich land doesn’t yield anymoreLa terra fertile e grassa non rende piú
while the sun sets down behind those hillsmentre fra quelle colline il sole va giú
I get bored, catching glimpses over the canalsa sprazzi ricevo annoiato sopra i canali
fog blurs everything, making the days all the samela nebbia confonde e crea i giorni uguali
if I shake the trees in the wind, the leaves will moanse agito gli alberi al vento e muglion le foglie
of the seasons now, I don’t mark the thresholdsdelle stagioni ora in tempo non marco le soglie
but there’s a smell of earth, a distant scentma c'é un odore di terra,odore lontano
that brings us back to a more human worldche ci riporta ad un mondo piú umano
To those streets that break from the asphaltA esas calles que salen del asfalto
they keep the same face and the same charmconservan la misma cara y el mismo encanto
of the people who never had anythinglos de la gente que nunca tuvo de nada
who fight and don’t feel defeatedque lucha y que no se siente derrotada
Behind the mill, the trash carried by the riverDietro al mulino i rifiuti portati dal fiume
that cuts through the vast plain turned to asphaltche taglia la grande pianura ridotta a bitume
while the past time has left no tracementre il tempo passato non ha dato traccia
the icy wind that comes at you lashes your faceil gelido vento che arriva ti sferza la faccia
the heart of the countryside beats now tiredil cuore della campagna batte ormai stanco
tired of too many words fed to the packstanco di troppe parole date in pasto al branco
but there’s a smell of earth, a distant scentma c'é un odore di terra,odore lontano
that brings us back to a more human worldche ci riporta ad un mondo piú umano
To those streets that break from the asphaltA esas calles que salen del asfalto
they keep the same face and the same charmconservan la misma cara y el mismo encanto
of the people who never had anythinglos de la gente que nunca tuvo de nada
who fight and don’t feel defeatedque lucha y que no se siente derrotada
