Translation of the song lyrics Sentivo L'Odore - Carmen Consoli

Sentivo L'Odore (original)

Dolce amore non fiatare
sono fin troppo angosciata dalle tue ansie
da quando ho scoperto di essere il tuo ripiego
ho provato vergogna per cio’che ho pensato
per cio’che avrei voluto fare e non ho fatto
per come avrei voluto ucciderti
sentivo l’odore
mentre sprofondavi tra le sue labbra
pregavi perche’non finisse
mentre ti annientavi tra le sue labbra
speravi che non fosse breve
Dolce amore randagio ecco cosa cercavi
tra i rifiuti e gli scarti del genere umano
talvolta il conflitto tra sacro e maligno mi sfianca
quel martellante pulsare di insano piacere
per cio’che avrei voluto fare e non ho fatto
per quanto avrei voluto infliggerti
sentivo l’odore
mentre sprofondavi tra le sue labbra
pregavi perche’non finisse
mentre ti annientavi tra le sue labbra
speravi che non fosse breve
che non fosse breve
che non fosse breve
che non fosse breve
e tutto questo per dirti solamente che
ho pagato fino in fondo
ho pagato fino in fondo
ho pagato fino in fondo
ho pagato fino in fondo
ho pagato fino in fondo
ho pagato fino in fondo
ho pagato fino in fondo
ho pagato fino in fondo
ho pagato fino in fondo

Sentivo L'Odore (translation)

Sweet love don't say a word
I'm too distressed by your anxieties
ever since I found out I was your fallback
I felt ashamed for what I thought
for what I wanted to do and didn't do
for how I wanted to kill you
I could smell it
as you sank between his lips
you prayed for it not to end
as you annihilated yourself between his lips
you hoped it wasn't short
Sweet stray love that's what you were looking for
among the waste and scraps of mankind
sometimes the conflict between the sacred and the evil wears me out
that pounding throb of insane pleasure
for what I wanted to do and didn't do
as much as I wanted to inflict you
I could smell it
as you sank between his lips
you prayed for it not to end
as you annihilated yourself between his lips
you hoped it wasn't short
that was not short
that was not short
that was not short
and all this to tell you only that
I paid the full price
I paid the full price
I paid the full price
I paid the full price
I paid the full price
I paid the full price
I paid the full price
I paid the full price
I paid the full price
