Il sosia (original)Il sosia (translation)
Fuori c’era un bel cortile Outside there was a nice courtyard
Poi le grandi scale Then the great stairs
E c’era il vento And there was the wind
E gli alberi di mele And the apple trees
Si fece notte Night fell
E un uomo della mia statura e della mia presenza And a man of my stature and my presence
Mi conduceva in un’insenatura He took me to a cove
Che a un certo punto diventava la mia stanza Which at one point became my room
Lì c’era tutta la mia vita There was my whole life
Che per la prima volta mi si rivelava Which was revealed to me for the first time
E c’era un grande specchio And there was a large mirror
Che indifferente mi duplicava How indifferent he doubled me
L’uomo della mia statura e della mia presenza The man of my stature and my presence
Forse troppo familiare Maybe too familiar
Forse troppo somigliante Maybe too similar
Mi stava accanto e non faceva niente He stood beside me and did nothing
Mi giunse la sua voce His voice reached me
Che assomigliava un po' alla mia Which looked a bit like mine
Ormai era più ingrata e senza sfumature By now she was more ungrateful and without nuances
Con certe fastidiose intonazioni With certain annoying intonations
Che sento a volte nelle mie registrazioni That I hear sometimes in my recordings
Ma più che altro But more than anything else
Mi spaventò il suo volto His face scared me
Tremendamente uguale al mio Tremendously the same as mine
Non ebbi più alcun dubbio I no longer had any doubts
Quell’uomo ero senz’altro io That man was undoubtedly me
E allora io mi vidi And then I saw myself
Così brutto e scoperto So ugly and uncovered
Che fui preso dal terrore That I was seized with terror
E mi scoppiava il cuore And my heart was bursting
Come fosse un infarto As if it were a heart attack
E lui rideva And he laughed
E poi sputava l’aria And then he spat out the air
Con una calcolata cattiveria With a calculated malice
E quella smorfia era la mia copia speculare And that grimace was my mirror copy
Così imbruttita e repellente So ugly and repellent
Da fare orrore To be horrifying
Odio il tuo viso che è la mia caricatura I hate your face which is my caricature
Odio la tua voce che è la mia scimmiottatura I hate your voice which is my ape
Odio l’arroganza della tua idiozia I hate the arrogance of your idiocy
Odio la tua stupida parola che è la mia I hate your stupid word which is mine
Ma lui restava immobile a guardare But he stood still and watched
Poi prese a parlare esageratamente adagio Then he began to speak exaggeratedly slowly
Mi disse che era logico e normale He told me that he was logical and normal
Che in quella notte di casuale sortilegio That in that night of casual spell
Aveva avuto il privilegio He had had the privilege
Di conoscere il male To know evil
Fuori non c’era più il cortile Outside there was no longer the courtyard
Né le grandi scale Nor the large stairs
E nemmeno il vento Nor the wind
Né gli alberi di mele Nor the apple trees
Era come un sogno che svapora It was like a dream evaporating
Che quando lo racconti That's when you tell it
Non riesci neanche a ricordarti You can't even remember
Fuori mi aspettavano altri sogni Outside, other dreams awaited me
Altri infartiOther heart attacks
