Inspired by Charles Bukowski’s love for cats, this song is a small tribute to his book "On Cats"

GATTI (testo)

Addormentato a letto mi sveglio
e il suo naso tocca il mio naso

e quel paio di occhi gialli
bellissimi
si riversano
in ciò che è rimasto

della mia anima

Più gatti hai, 
più a lungo vivrai

A quei dannati gatti
non importa
proprio
niente di niente

E se gliene importasse
non mi piacerebbero
neanche
un po’

Più gatti hai, 
più a lungo vivrai, baby

Addormentato a letto mi sveglio
e il suo naso tocca il mio naso

E quel paio di occhi gialli
bellissimi
(bellissimi)
si riversano
in ciò che è rimasto
della mia anima

della mia anima

della mia anima

CATS (lyrics)  

Asleep in bed, I wake up  
and its nose touches my nose  

And that pair of yellow eyes  
so beautiful  
pour into  
what's left  

of my soul  

The more cats you have,  
the longer you'll live  

Those damn cats  
don't care  
about anything  
at all  

And if they did,  
I wouldn't like them  
even  
a bit  

The more cats you have,  
the longer you'll live, baby  

Asleep in bed, I wake up  
and its nose touches my nose  

And that pair 
of yellow eyes  
so beautiful  
(so beautiful)  
pour into  
what's left  
of my soul  

of my soul  

of my soul

UN NUOVO GIORNO (testo)

Vedo dolcezza
di fronte al sole dorato
che mi riscalda
mentre un ricciolo di vento
mi accarezza

Io guardo nascere
un nuovo giorno
che mi stupisce
ogni giorno

Di fronte a questa meraviglia 
cammino a piedi nudi 
lungo la spiaggia

Non penso a nulla
ascolto il mare,
vedo dolcezza,
ascolto il suono 
dei colori,

di fronte al sole dorato
che mi accarezza 
con un ricciolo di vento

Cammino lentamente,
ascolto il mare

Non penso a nulla
danzo con le onde

Sento nell'animo 
il suono dei colori

È già nato
un nuovo giorno

vedo dolcezza,
nella mia mente

Con gli occhi lucidi,
in silenzio
continuo a camminare

Canto i miei blues

Non penso a nulla

Danzo con le onde

A NEW DAY
(Lyrics)

I see sweetness
before the golden sun
that warms me
as a curl of wind
gently brushes my skin

I watch
a new day being born
and every day
it amazes me again

Faced with such wonder
I walk barefoot
along the shore

I think of nothing
I listen to the sea
I see sweetness
I listen to
the sound
of colors

Before the golden sun
that caresses me
with a curl of wind

I walk slowly
I listen to the sea

I think of nothing
I dance with the waves

I feel in my soul
the sound of colors

A new day
has already begun

I see sweetness
in my mind

With teary eyes
in silence
I keep walking

I sing my blues

I think of nothing

I dance with the waves
