Albero (Tree) Paroles

Arcigno caparbio, arcigno caparbio.

Resiste, arcigno caparbio,
Resiste.

Affonda le radici nella poca terra,
Corroso da un vento carico di mare.
Si torce si flette ma non si lascia andare,
Rimane abbarbicato a quell'esile sperone.

Volontá  di esserci,
Volontá  di farcela.
Volontá  di esserci,
Volontá  di farcela.

Volontá  di esserci, (di esserci)
Volontá  di farcela. (di farcela)
Volontá  di esserci, (di esserci)
Volontá  di farcela. (di farcela)

Se ripenso adesso a quel pino storto e nano,
Mi dá  coraggio piá¹ di stupide parole
Che mi dico ogni giorno per non lasciarmi andare,
Quel pino storto e nano arcigno e caparbio.

(English)
On a rock hit by the waves,
Rotten by salt,
Pierced by a still sun a sulky,
Resists.

Stubborn, crooked and dwarf pine,
Stubborn, crooked, stubborn, crooked.

Resists, sulky stubborn,
Resist.

Plunges its roots in few soil,
Corroded by a sea-full wind.
It twists, bends but never surrenders,
It remains clung to that thin spur.

Will of being,
Will of succeeding,
Will of being,
Will of succeeding.

Will of being, (Of being)
Will of succeeding, (Of succeeding)
Will of being, (Of being)
Will of succeeding. (Of succeeding)

If I think now of that crooked dwarf pine,
It gives me courage more than stupid words
Which I talk to myself every day not to surrender,
Than sulky stubborn crooked dwarf pine.

If I think now of that crooked dwarf pine,
It gives me courage more than stupid words
Which I talk to myself every day not to surrender,
Than sulky stubborn crooked dwarf pine.
