Il Treno
Talco Lyrics

Un treno. Un treno. Un treno!
The repetition of 'Un treno' is an introduction to the theme of the song - a train. It is a plea to be heard, as if calling out to the train itself.

Alla deriva il film dell'innocenza
The train is a metaphor for life, with its passengers drifting aimlessly and helplessly through the world, as if watching a movie that they have no control over.

Deportato a un gioco di rassegnazione
The passengers are resigned to their fate, like prisoners being deported to a life of uncertainty and despair.

Va aumentando una sopravvivenza
Despite their circumstances, the passengers cling to a sense of survival and hope for a better future.

Nel contare i giorni di disperazione
They count the days of their miserable existence, each one filled with despair and hopelessness.

Un pazzo si segnò la vita tramutar oltre i confini della razionalità
One crazy person dared to push the boundaries of rationality and change their life, perhaps by taking a risk or rebelling against their circumstances.

Scavalcare il dolor che ti asciuga la via lieti di un respiro di follia
To overcome the pain that drains your soul, you need to embrace a certain madness and take a leap of faith, finding joy in the unknown and unexpected.

Là dove attendono la luce in una mano
This is a reference to a place where light is waiting in the palm of one's hand, where hope and possibility reside.

Di chi dicono plasmò l'umanità
It's a nod to the idea that someone or something shaped humanity and its destiny, giving it meaning and purpose.

Ci svegliammo in un destino disumano
The passengers wake up to a cruel and inhumane fate, trapped in a world where they have no control over their lives.

Soli in sella ad un'ignota nudità
Alone and vulnerable, they ride on the train wearing a cloak of anonymity and exposed vulnerability.

E nutrendo, raccogliendo un dolce incontro
Despite their isolation, they seek human connection and nourishment, cherishing sweet moments of interaction with others.

Con un placido delirio di poesia
In the midst of their struggles, they find solace in the beauty of poetry and art, experiencing a sense of calm and transcendence.

Con un foglio ad indicar la via
With a piece of paper showing the way, they navigate through the uncertainty and chaos, hoping to find a path towards freedom and escape.

E corre il treno ad ingannare l'apparenza
The train runs seemingly without purpose, deceiving appearances and mocking the passengers' quest for meaning and direction.

Di condanne senza colpe e verità
The passengers are condemned to a life without guilt and truth, bearing the weight of their circumstances without any justification or explanation.

Io conforto cieco nella mia coscienza
The singer finds comfort in his own conscience, trying to make sense of the world and his place in it.

Per scovar nel treno la mia libertà
He searches for his own freedom within the boundaries of the train, hoping to break free from his constraints and limitations.

A cercar riparo a lungo a condannati
He seeks shelter and refuge among the other prisoners, bonding over their shared predicament and pain.

Tra le faglie anguste dell'inciviltà
In the narrow gaps of incivility and inhumanity, he finds glimpses of hope and compassion for his fellow passengers.

Per trovare la via per fuggire aldilà delle voglie dell'umanità
He looks for a way to escape beyond human desires and temptations, trying to transcend his own limitations and weaknesses.

Non mi lasciare, non dimenticare la terra che lasciamo per andare via lontano
He pleads with someone not to leave him behind, to remember the place they are leaving behind and the pain they are running away from.

Fuggi come se potessi scavalcare un indomani che avevamo visto già
He urges them to run away as if they could overcome a future they have already seen and experienced, breaking free from the cycle of despair and hopelessness.

Ma devo andare, non dimenticare, non cancellare i sogni gli occhi della gente mia
He acknowledges that he must go on his own journey, but asks them not to forget his dreams and the hopes and dreams of the people around him.

Scavalchiamo il dolor che ci asciuga la via con un bel respiro di follia
Together, they overcome the pain that drains their souls, embracing madness and life with a bold and fearless breath.

Nella storia di una vita deportata
The train becomes a metaphor for a life that has been exiled and deported, condemned to a fate out of one's control.

Riposata da una lieta assurdità
In the midst of absurdity and chaos, they find rest and joy, embracing life with all its contradictions and paradoxes.

Vivo il giorno di una sorte malandata con un fremito di umana dignità
They live each day with a sense of dignity and purpose, despite their unfortunate fate, embracing their humanity with passion and intensity.

E strappando il corso di un meschino tempo
They tear apart the fabric of time, resisting its constraints and limitations, trying to break free from the past and embrace the future.

Mesto inseguo in un delirio la magia
In a sad pursuit of something magical and elusive, they chase their dreams with a desperate sense of urgency and passion.

Per scappar dal dolor d'innocente agonia con un foglio ad indicar la via
In the end, they try to escape from the pain of innocent agony, seeking guidance from a piece of paper that shows them the way towards a better future.
