La Vita e Bella, Beautiful

Never try to understand what’s going on
You’ll never imagine what I sacrificed
If you don’t get me, why pretend to believe?
If you don’t light up, no one else can spark you

I give up on your interpretation
I hate the implication
I offer you my simple translation
In the face of my inquiry

Beautiful, you’re everything I wanted
But you sold your soul to be
Everything you never really wanted
But you sold yourself to live

If you never try because you’re scared to fail
You defeat yourself and pretend to grasp reality
Sometimes it’s easier not to want to know
But often the unknown keeps you from understanding

I give up on your interpretation
I hate the implication
I offer you my simple translation
In the face of my inquiry

Beautiful, you’re everything I wanted
But you sold your soul to be
Everything you never really wanted
But you sold yourself to live
