Chapter VI: La Vita Fugge

La vita fugge et non s'arresta una hora
Et la morte vien dietro a gran giornate
Et le cose presenti, et le passate
Mi danno guerra, et le future anchora

E 'l rimembrare et l'aspettar m'accora
Or quinci or quindi, si che 'n veritate
Se non ch'i' ho di me stesso pietate
I' sarei gia di questi pensier' for a

Tornami avanti s'alcun dolce mai
Ebbe 'l cor tristo, et poi da l'altra parte
Veggio al mio navigar turbati i venti

Veggio fortuna in porto, et stanco omai
Il mio nocchier, et rotte arbore et sarte
E i lumi bei, che mirar soglio, spenti

If I could stop time
How many things that I would change from the past
I'd set my life right

If I could live forever
How many emotions I would learn to control
And feel what I want

Time is running too fast for me
You can't stop its course
Never surrender, I'll sleep when I'm dead

Time is moving along too fast
I can't think straight
Won't take all the time that I need
If I try I'll always be late

I wanna kill time
Win my own war to survive
Only a chance, I'd surely not fail

Time is running too fast for me
You can't stop its course
Never surrender, I'll sleep when I'm dead

Time is moving along too fast
I can't think straight
Won't take all the time that I need
If I try I'll always be late

Time is running too fast for me
You can't stop its course
Never surrender, I'll sleep when I'm dead

Time is moving along too fast
I can't think straight
Won't take all the time that I need
I'll always be late
