Vecchio come la marea che torna questa notte
Con antichi pensieri, e rassegnato che ogni cosa ha il suo tempo
Vecchia e semplicissima come le fasi della luna
Con dei riccioli d'oro che coprivano ogni espressione via via
Io me la ricordo con quell'aria acerba
Era bella com'è.
Forte era l'istinto come quel sole d'estate.
Io rivedo la polvere alzarsi, le danze, i grani del tempo.
E ancora genti d'altre terre in terre d'altre genti
Gloria, e ancora gloria a quei tempi di Francia in una mezza stagione.
Lei, che innocenza, dolore, che nodo alla gola
E che povero me.
I colori del cielo non cambiano mai.
Vecchio come la marea, tante le rose calpestate
Lei era sicura di ogni mossa che faceva, ma io
Risento il suo cuore ruggire fino al cielo, e sparire più su.
Mentre strascicava il passo dei suoi anni su di me.
Gli errori di fondo non cambiano mai
Gli errori in fondo non cambiano mai.
Tante sono le persone che riempiono una vita
E adesso che l'angoscia mi morde le labbra si è fatto tardi e la marea se ne va
Tanti amici se ne sono andati nello scorrere degli anni
E anch'io, quando dimenticherò di riccioli d'oro, di espressioni, via via
I colori del cielo non cambiano mai.
