Caterina

(original)
Poi arrivò il mattino
E col mattino un angelo
E quell’angelo eri tu
Con due spalle uccellino
In un vestito troppo piccolo
E con gli occhi ancora blu
E la chitarra veramente
La suonavi molto male
Però quando cantavi
Sembrava Carnevale
E una bottiglia ci bastava
Per un pomeriggio intero
A raccontarlo oggi
Non sembra neanche vero
E la vita Caterina, lo sai
Non è comoda per nessuno
Quando vuoi gustare fino in fondo
Tutto il suo profumo
Devi rischiare la notte
Il vino e la malinconia
La solitudine e le valigie
Di un amore che vola via
E cinquecento catenelle
Che si spezzano in un secondo
E non ti bastano per piangere
Le lacrime di tutto il mondo
Chissà se in quei momenti
Ti ricordi della mia faccia
Quando la notte scende
E ti si gelano le braccia
Ma se soltanto per un attimo
Potessi averti accanto
Forse non ti direi niente
Ma ti guarderei soltanto
Chissà se giochi ancora
Con i riccioli sull’orecchio
O se guardandomi negli occhi
Mi troveresti un po' più vecchio
E quanti mascalzoni hai conosciuto
E quante volte hai chiesto aiuto
Ma non ti è servito a niente
Caterina questa tua canzone
La vorrei veder volare
Sopra i tetti di Firenze
Per poterti conquistare
(translation)
Then came the morning
And with the morning an angel
And that angel was you
With two bird shoulders
In too small a dress
And with his eyes still blue
And the guitar really
You played it very badly
But when you sang
It felt like Carnival
And one bottle was enough for us
For a whole afternoon
To tell it today
It doesn't even seem true
And life Catherine, you know
It is not comfortable for anyone
When you want to fully enjoy
All its perfume
You have to risk the night
Wine and melancholy
Loneliness and suitcases
Of a love that flies away
And five hundred chains
Which break in a second
And that's not enough for you to cry
The tears of the whole world
Who knows if in those moments
You remember my face
When the night falls
And your arms freeze
But if only for a moment
I could have you next to me
Maybe I wouldn't tell you anything
But I'd just look at you
Who knows if you still play
With the curls on the ear
Or if looking into my eyes
You would find me a little older
And how many rascals have you met
And how many times have you asked for help
But it didn't help you
Caterina this song of yours
I would like to see it fly
Above the roofs of Florence
To be able to conquer you
