Translation of the song lyrics Il sogno degli anni '70 - Diaframma

Il sogno degli anni '70 (original)

Ho venduto
Metà del patrimonio che ho
Per il fascino ambiguo
Di una semplice fotografia
Una foto mai vista che parlando
Vidi e valeva la pena
E valeva la pena
E valeva la pena
E valeva
Era di una donna bellissima
Stesa su un sofà anni '70
Quello che la rendeva tostissima
Era la forma più che sostanza
Ora guardate le mani
E guardatele i piedi
Sembra che escano fuori
Da una semplice fotografia
Impenetrabile specchio
Che mi stava a guardare
Ma eran passati trent’anni
Eran passati trent’anni
Eran passati trent’anni
Eran passati
Come di martellate
Di tecnica sopra
La superficie degli anni
Come di martellate
Di tecnica sopra
La superficie degli anni

(translation)

I sold
Half of the assets I have
For the ambiguous charm
Of a simple photograph
A photo never seen that speaking
I saw and it was worth it
And it was worth it
And it was worth it
And it was worth it
It was from a beautiful woman
Lying on a 1970s sofa
What made it super tough
It was form rather than substance
Now look at the hands
And look at her feet
They seem to come out
From a simple photograph
Impenetrable mirror
Who was watching me
But thirty years had passed
Thirty years had passed
Thirty years had passed
They were past
As of hammering
Of technique above
The surface of the years
As of hammering
Of technique above
The surface of the years
