Canzoni Stonate

I only sing with a few friends
when we're at home and we've been drinking
Don't think we forgot about you
Just last night we were talking about you
Walking home, you came to mind
I turned in bed and said nothing
And I thought of your voice so fresh and strange
That gave our group something extra
Enrico playing, his wife sings along
Giovanni, as always, listens
Out of tune as he is
Love songs
that still do good to the heart
We're tired but happy
If I close my eyes, maybe you can hear us
Even from there
Last Sunday we went to the lake
I even caught a big fish that looked like a dragon
Then in the evening on the train, we sang softly
That American piece you used to sing
Out of tune songs
Words getting more and more wrong
Remember how many evenings spent like this
Love songs
that still do good to the heart
We say almost always
Sometimes not
