Stamattina, girando in taxi per le strade di Amsterdam (sempre grazie ai miei viaggi di lavoro), ho sentito questa canzone. E anche stasera, in terra italiana, è passata alla radio. Coincidenze?
You and me,
we used to be together,
everyday together…always.
I really feel
that I’m losing my best friend,
I can’t believe
this could be the end.
It looks as though you’re letting go
and if it’s real
well, I don’t want to know.
Don’t speak,
I know just what you’re saying,
so please stop explaining,
don’t tell me cause it hurts.
Don’t speak,
I know what you’re thinking,
I don’t need your reasons,
don’t tell me cause it hurts.
Our memories
well, they can be inviting
but some are altogether,
mighty frightening.
As we die, both you and I
with my head in my hands,
I sit and cry.
Don’t speak…
It’s all ending,
I gotta stop pretending who we are.
You and me I can see us dying…are we?
Don’t speak,
I know what you’re thinking,
I don’t need your reasons,
don’t tell me cause it hurts.
I know what you’re saying
So please stop explaining.
Don’t speak,
don’t speak,
don’t speak,
oh I know what you’re thinking
and I don’t need your reasons.
I know you’re good,
I know you’re good,
I know you’re real good.
…poi bisogna a vedere a chi va’ la dedica…*
