| Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song
| Prestami le tue orecchie e ti canterò una canzone
|
| I’ll show you my hands, just to prove I was wrong

| An old man lay dying, lay still on his bed
| Un vecchio giaceva morente, giaceva immobile sul suo letto
|
| His songs were behind him — his songs they were dead
| Le sue canzoni erano dietro di lui, le sue canzoni erano morte
|
| Lost were his meanings, lost were his songs
| Persi erano i suoi significati, perdute erano le sue canzoni
|
| And so far behind him, and now they were gone
| E così lontano dietro di lui, e ora se n'erano andati
|
| His tunes had no meanings, just lost in his head
| Le sue melodie non avevano significato, erano solo perse nella sua testa
|
| His thoughts and his thinking, maybe were dead
| I suoi pensieri e il suo pensiero, forse erano morti
|
| A curse, which was evil, had ruined this poor man
| Una maledizione, che era malvagia, aveva rovinato questo pover'uomo
|

| His mind, it was tattered
| La sua mente era a brandelli
|
| His pn wrote the songs
| Il suo pn ha scritto le canzoni
|
| Just to learn by his readings
| Solo per imparare dalle sue letture
|
| His mind just goes… | La sua mente va solo... |
