Translation of the song lyrics Mal D'Africa - ALICE

Mal D'Africa (original)

Dopo pranzo
Si andava a riposare
Cullati dalle zanzariere
E dai rumori di cucina
Dalle finestre un po' socchiuse
Spiragli contro il soffitto
E qualche cosa di astratto
Si impossessava di me
Sentivo parlare piano
Per non disturbare
Ed era come un mal d’Africa, mal d’Africa
Saturday night I’m dreamer
I can’t live without you on my own
Lies a photograph
Please come back and stand by me
Con le sedie
Seduti per la strada
Pantaloncini e canottiera
Col caldo che faceva
Da una finestra di ringhiera
Mio padre si pettinava
L’odore di brillantina
Si impossessava di me
Piacere di stare insieme
Solo per criticare
Ed era come un mal d’Africa, mal d’Africa
Saturday night I’m dreamer
I can’t live without you on my own
Lies a photograph
Please come back and stand by me

Mal D'Africa (translation)

After lunch
She was going to rest
Lulled by mosquito nets
And from the noises of the kitchen
From the slightly ajar windows
Glimpses against the ceiling
And something abstract
She took possession of me
I heard speaking softly
Not to disturb
And it was like a sickness of Africa, a sickness of Africa
Saturday night I'm a dreamer
I can't live without you on my own
Lies a photograph
Please come back and stand by me
With chairs
Sitting on the street
Shorts and tank top
With the heat she was doing
From a railing window
My father was combing his hair
The smell of grease
He took possession of me
Pleasure to be together
Just to criticize
And it was like a sickness of Africa, a sickness of Africa
Saturday night I'm a dreamer
I can't live without you on my own
Lies a photograph
Please come back and stand by me
