Stella stellina

(original)
Nata sono natanell’Africa d’Italia,
in qualche posto e in qualche modo sono pure cresciuta.
Non c’erano chitarre ai miei tempi,
non c’erano chitarre da suonare
ma fili d’erba quanti ne volevi tu da strappare e poi soffiare.
E s la notte, ti potevi fidanzare con la luce dei treni chefischiavano lontano.
Probabilmente cominci con la corriera e con la ferrovia,
un uomo chiuse lo sportello e la campagna vol via.
Avevi unghie laccate sopra mani da contadina
e due orecchini di corallo di quand’eri ragazzina.
E ti leggevi i libri che parlavono solo d’amore
e poi chiss che altro avevi dentro al cuore.
E un anno passa e un anno vola
e un anno cambia faccia e una citt che muore,
che protegge e che minaccia.
E un uomo con il cappello che ti accompagna alla fermata
e tu che prendi la sua mano e pensi adesso si che sono innamorata.
E non importa niente se capisci che non era vero,
c' sempre tempo per un’altra mano e per un sogno ancora intero.
Prendila come viene, prendila come vuoi,
non t’impicciare pi della tua vita che non sono affari tuoi.
Prendila come viene, prendila come va,
stella stellina, stella cadente, stella, stella.
(translation)
I was born in Africa of Italy,
somewhere and somehow I also grew up.
There were no guitars in my day,
there were no guitars to play
but blades of grass as many as you wanted to tear and then blow.
And yes at night, you could get engaged to the light of the trains that were hovering away.
You probably start with the bus and the railroad,
a man closed the door and the countryside flew away.
You had varnished nails on peasant hands
and two coral earrings from when you were a girl.
And you read the books that spoke only of love
and then who knows what else you had inside your heart.
And a year goes by and a year flies
and a year changes its face and a city that dies,
that protects and threatens.
And a man with a hat who accompanies you to the stop
and you who take his hand from him and think now that I'm in love.
And it doesn't matter if you know it wasn't true,
there is always time for another hand and for a still whole dream.
Take it as it comes, take it as you want,
don't worry about your life anymore that it's none of your business.
Take it as it comes, take it as it goes,
starlet, shooting star, star, star.
