Prima Dell'alba


(Before Sunrise - 1995)



Celine: I believe if there's any kind of God it wouldn't be in any of us, not you or me but just this little space in between. If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something. I know, it's almost impossible to succeed but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt.


Jesse: Sometimes I dream about being a good father and a good husband. And sometimes it feels really close. But then other times it seems silly like it would ruin my whole life. And it's not just a fear of commitment or that I'm incapable of caring or loving because... I can. It's just that, if I'm totally honest with myself I think I'd rather die knowing that I was really good at something. That I had excelled in some way than that I'd just been in a nice, caring relationship.


Celine: I like to feel his eyes on me when I look away.


Celine: I used to think that if none of your family or friends knew you were dead, it was like not really being dead. People can invent the best and the worst for you.


 Celine: Isn't everything we do in life a way to be loved a little more? 


Celine: Well, who says relationships have to last forever?


Jesse: Everybody's parents fucked them up. Rich kids parents gave them too much. Poor kids, not enough. You know, too much attention, not enough attention. They either left them or they stuck around and taught them the wrong things.


Jesse: You know what's the worst thing about somebody breaking up with you? Is when you remember how little you thought about the people you broke up with and you realize that is how little they're thinking of you. You know, you'd like to think you're both in all this pain but they're just like 'Hey, I'm glad you're gone'.


Street Poet: Daydream delusion, limousine eyelash / Oh baby with your pretty face / Drop a tear in my wineglass / Look at those big eyes / See what you mean to me / Sweet-cakes and milkshakes / I'm a delusion angel / I'm a fantasy parade / I want you to know what I think / Don't want you to guess anymore / You have no idea where I came from / We have no idea where we're going / Lodged in life / Like branches in a river/ Flowing downstream / Caught in the current / I carry you / You'll carry me / That's how it could be / Don't you know me? / Don't you know me by  now?

QUALCOSA CHE NON C'E'


[Elisa]



Tutto questo tempo a chiedermi
Cos’è che non mi lascia in pace
Tutti questi anni a chiedermi
Se vado veramente bene
Così
Come sono
Così


Così un giorno
Ho scritto sul quaderno
Io farò sognare il mondo con la musica
Non molto tempo
Dopo quando mi bastava
Fare un salto per
Raggiungere la felicità
E la verità è


Ho aspettato a lungo
Qualcosa che non c’è
Invece di guardare il sole sorgere


Questo è sempre stato un modo
Per fermare il tempo
E la velocità
I passi svelti della gente
La disattenzione
Le parole dette
Senza umiltà
Senza cuore così
Solo per far rumore


Ho aspettato a lungo
Qualcosa che non c’è
Invece di guardare
Il sole sorgere


E miracolosamente non
Ho smesso di sognare
E miracolosamente
Non riesco a non sperare
E se c’è un segreto
E’ fare tutto come
Se vedessi solo il sole


Un segreto è fare tutto
Come se
Fare tutto
Come se
Vedessi solo il sole
Vedessi solo il sole
Vedessi solo il sole


E non
Qualcosa che non c’è

... Tutti abbiamo un prezzo. E il nostro peggior nemico è chi può permettersi di pagarlo...
