Canzone Della Bambina Portoghese (original)Canzone Della Bambina Portoghese (translation)
E poi e poi, gente viene qui e ti dice And then and then, people come here and tell you
Di sapere gia' ogni legge delle cose To already know every law of things
E tutti, sai, vantano un orgoglio cieco And they all, you know, boast blind pride
Di verita' fatte di formule vuote Truths made of empty formulas
E tutti, sai, ti san dire come fare, And everyone, you know, will you know how to do it,
Quali leggi rispettare, quali regole osservare, Which laws to respect, which rules to observe,
Qual e' il vero vero, What's the real real,
E poi, e poi, tutti chiusi in tante celle, And then, and then, all closed in many cells,
Fanno a chi parla piu' forte They make those who speak louder
Per non dir che stelle e morte fan paura. Not to mention that stars and death are frightening.
Al caldo del sole, al mare scendeva la bambina portoghese In the heat of the sun, the Portuguese girl went down to the sea
Non c’eran parole, rumori soltanto come voci sospese. There were no words, noises only like suspended voices.
Il mare soltanto, e il suo primo bikini amaranto, The sea only, and her first bikini of her amaranth,
Le cose piu' belle e la gioia del caldo alla pelle. The most beautiful things and the joy of warmth to the skin.
Gli amici vicino sembravan sommersi dalla voce del mare; The close friends seemed overwhelmed by the voice of the sea;
O sogni o visioni qualcosa la prese e si mise a pensare; Either dreams or visions something took her and she began to think;
Senti' che era un punto al limite di un continente, Felt that she was a point on the edge of a continent,
Senti' che era un niente, l’Atlantico immenso di fronte. He felt that it was nothing, the immense Atlantic in front of him.
E in questo sentiva qualcosa di grande And in this she felt something great
Che non riusciva a capire, che non poteva intuire; That she couldn't understand, that she couldn't guess;
Che avrebbe spiegato, se avesse capito lei, e l’oceano infinito; That she would have explained, if he had understood her, and the infinite ocean;
Ma il caldo l’avvolse, si senti' svanire e si mise a dormire. But the heat enveloped her, she felt herself vanish and she went to sleep.
E fu solo del sole, come di mani future. And it was only of the sun, as of future hands.
Restaron soltanto il mare e un bikini amaranto. Only the sea and an amaranth bikini remained.
E poi e poi, se ti scopri a ricordare, And then and then, if you find yourself remembering,
Ti accorgerai che non te ne importa niente. You will find that you don't care.
E capirai che una sera o una stagione And you will understand that an evening or a season
Son come lampi, luci accese e dopo spente. They are like lightning, lights on and then off.
E capirai che la vera ambiguita' And you will understand that the true ambiguity
E' la vita che viviamo, il qualcosa che chiamiamo esser uomini, It's the life we ​​live, the something we call being men,
E poi, e poi, che quel vizio che ci uccidera' And then, and then, that the vice that will kill us
Non sara' fumare o bere, ma il qualcosa che ti porti dentro, It won't be smoking or drinking, but the something you carry inside,
Cioe' vivereThat is to live
