Translation of the song lyrics Cammino in centro - Franco Califano

Cammino in centro (original)

E' quasi sera
Io sono fuori
Ormai anche i negozi non han piu' colori
Se sto' cosi' un motivo c’e'
E' che stasera non ce ne' da vivere
Cammino in centro
Si faccio un giro
Col passo lento e col respiro
Che il freddo butta giu'
E non voglio pensarti
Ma qui in citta'
Si naufragare
Tra i lampioni accesi
E la gente
Che a casa se ne va'
E passa piano un aereoplano
No forse sbaglio e' solo un mio pensiero
Signora mia si ci starei
Se questa sera io non pensassi a lei
Cammino in centro
Si faccio un giro
Col passo lento e col respiro
Che il freddo butta giu'
E non voglio pensarti
Ma qui in citta'
Si naufragare
Tra i lampioni accesi
E la gente
Che a casa se ne va'
Che godimento che godimento
Ma a chi sto' mentendo
Tu non ci sei…
Tu non ci sei…

(translation)

It is almost evening
I'm out
Now even the shops no longer have colors
If I am like this, there is a reason
There's no living tonight
I walk downtown
Yes, I take a ride
With slow pace and breath
That the cold throws down
And I don't want to think about you
But here in the city
You get wrecked
Among the lighted street lamps
And the people
That goes home
And an airplane passes slowly
No, maybe I'm wrong it's just my thought
My lady, yes I would
If I didn't think of her tonight
I walk downtown
Yes, I take a ride
With slow pace and breath
That the cold throws down
And I don't want to think about you
But here in the city
You get wrecked
Among the lighted street lamps
And the people
That goes home
What an enjoyment, what an enjoyment
But who am I lying to
You are not there…
You are not there…
