Eros Ramazzotti, Claudio Guidetti - Eros Ramazzotti, Adelio Cogliati

(unofficial english version)
I KNEW HIM WELL
THE MAN WHO WATCHED THE CLOUDS
HE WOULD SEE MANY THINGS
IN THOSE STRANGE FORMS
HE WOULD SEE A NEW WORLD
AS IF IT WERE A DREAM TO GRASP
BUT HE COULD NEVER REACH IT...

I REMEMBER THAT ONE DAY
THERE WAS A BIG WHITE CLOUD
I SAID TO HIM “IT LOOKS LIKE A BIG MONSTER”
BUT TO HIM IT SEEMED AN ANGEL
PERHAPS BECAUSE EVERYONE SEES
ONLY THOSE THINGS WHICH HE WANTS TO
A LITTLE BIT LIKE THE TRUTH...

IT’S A STORY LIKE ANOTHER
PERHAPS SOMEBODY’S ALREADY HEARD IT
IT CAN BE CHANGED
BUT IT WILL ALWAYS BE THE SAME
THE STORY OF HUMANITY
AND THE CLOUDS MANY HAVE ALREADY PASSED BY
AND MANY MORE THAN EVER
ARE STILL TO PASS...
FROM HERE,YES, MANY WILL PASS...

NOW THAT HE IS MUCH OLDER
MY FRIEND WITH THE NOBLE HEART
WHAT DOES HE SEE IN THE MIRROR
I WANTED TO ASK HIM THIS
BUT THEY TOLD ME
THAT HE GOT LOST
IN A SKY THAT WAS SO CLEAR
AND BY NOW
NOBODY KNOWS WHERE HE IS....
