Gianmaria Testa La Giostra
I had a strange dream
A morning dream
A weird and truthful dream
That I woke up and was still a little boy
And was setting off, my bed a sailing-ship
On one side there was the sea
And on the other practically nothing
A storm was puffing the sails
I was flying over people's hats
I was shouting to the world, and the world was a carousel
Tell me if you believe me
And if you believe me, wait for me because
If I ever come back
I'll come back to you
Tell me if you believe me
And if you believe me wait for me
That way, if I come back
You'll already be here
A cannon's mouth
Was spitting cannonballs and fire
And there was a red cat at a window
Almost as if it were a game, he was watching
People falling off the carousel
They were falling into the streets
But without making much noise
Like leaves in the November wind
And the red cat's heart grew sad
But he stayed at the window, as always
Tell me if you believe me
And if you believe me, wait for me
That way, if I come back
You'll already be here
