Translation of the song lyrics L'uso dell'amore - Angelo Branduardi

L'uso dell'amore (original)

Il bruco non ce l’ha
La mela non ce l’ha
Il ramo non ce l’ha
E l’albero non ce l’ha
La cassetta non ce l’ha
Piena di mele non ce l’ha
Ed anche il camion non ce l’ha
L’uso dell’amore
L’amo non ce l’ho
Il suughero non ce l’ha
Lo lenza non ce l’ha
La canna non ce l’ha
Il cestino non ce l’ha
Pieno di pesci non ce l’ha
E anche il fiume non ce l’ha
L’uso dell’amore
Dicono che c'è
Dicono com'è
Senza dire mai
Cosa ne puoi fare
Dicono dov'è
Dicono quand'è
Mo e' un mistero in sè
L’uso dell’amore
Dicono di te dicono di me
E non sanno che
Io lo imparerò da te
Tu lo imparerai da me
La cruna non ce l’ha
E l’ago non ce l’ha
Il filo non ce l’ha
Il punto non ce l’ha
E l’abito non ce l’ha
Pieno di tasche non ce l’ha
Anche l’armadio non ce l’ha
L’uso dell’amore
Dicono che c'è
Dicono com'è
Senza dire mai
Cosa ne puoi fare
Dicono dov'è
Dicono quand'è
Mo e' un mistero in sè
L’uso dell’amore
Dicono di te dicono di me
Ora che lo so da te
Ora che lo sai da me
L’America ce l’ha
L’Africa ce l’ha
E l’Asia ce l’ha
L’Antartide ce l’ha
Atlantide ce l’ha
Se pure non l’aveva già
Tutto il mondo ha
L’uso dell’amore

(translation)

The caterpillar does not have it
The apple does not have it
The branch does not have it
And the tree doesn't have it
The box does not have it
Full of apples it does not have it
And even the truck doesn't have it
The use of love
I don't have it
The suughero does not have it
The line does not have it
The barrel does not have it
The basket does not have it
Full of fish it does not have it
And the river doesn't have it either
The use of love
They say there is
They say how it is
Without ever saying
What can you do with it
They say where it is
They say when it is
Mo is a mystery in itself
The use of love
They say about you they say about me
And they don't know that
I will learn it from you
You will learn it from me
The eye does not have it
And the needle doesn't have it
There is no thread
The point does not have it
And the dress does not have it
It doesn't have pockets
Even the wardrobe does not have it
The use of love
They say there is
They say how it is
Without ever saying
What can you do with it
They say where it is
They say when it is
Mo is a mystery in itself
The use of love
They say about you they say about me
Now that I know from you
Now that you know it from me
America has it
Africa has it
And Asia has it
Antarctica has it
Atlantis has it
If she didn't already have it too
The whole world has
The use of love
