Lyrics: a free interpretation & translation from"
Sulla Noia a la Disperazione" by Giacomo Leopardi 1819I Feel this Dazed by the NOTHING whichis Surrounding me that, IF I went Madin this VERY moment, my Own Insanitywouldn't be but, an ETERNAL sitting down
My EYES Astounded, my Mouth's openedmy HANDS hidden, between my kneesneither Laughing or Weepingnor EVEN Moving, if not on Compulsionfrom the Place where I'd be.I have no more VIGOU
Rto Conceive any WISH, not even a deadly oneand not because I FEAR death, but 'cos I NO LONGE
Rsee any difference between DEATH and this LIFE of minewhere NOBODY comes on to Relieve me not EVEN the Sorrow
This is the First time that TEDIUM not only tiresand weighs Down on me, it's also Worryingand Tearing me, just like the STRONGEST of Pains.I've got so Frightened by the VANITY of thingsand the Condition of Mankind - Death of every Passion -as they're ALL DEAD, in My Heartthat I'm going Insane, thinking that my DESPAIR itselfisn't BUT NOTHING
Farewell
