| Eravamo in due,
| There were two of us,
|
| E sono rimasta sola.
| And I was left alone.
|
| Persa in un bicchiere di troppo,
| Lost in one glass too many,
|
| Naufraga in toilette per signore.
| Shipwrecked in the ladies' toilet.
|
| Cerco disperatamente qualche cosa che,
| I am desperately looking for something that,
|
| Che mi manca tanto.
| That I miss it so much.
|
| I love you baby,
| I love you baby,
|
| Com’era bello fare all’amore con te.
| How nice it was to make love with you.
|
| Come son belle le illusioni,
| How beautiful are the illusions,
|
| Ed i pensieri tristi,
| And the sad thoughts,
|
| E le canzoni degli anni settanta,
| And the songs of the seventies,
|
| E quella voglia di andare via,
| And that desire to go away,
|
| Ed il desiderio di restare
| And the desire to stay
|
| Ed il nobile orizzonte del mare Ionio
| And the noble horizon of the Ionian sea
|
| Che se ne va via verso l’Africa
| Who goes away to Africa
|
| Ogni santo giorno.
| Every holy day.
|
| I love you baby,
| I love you baby,
|
| Com’era bello fare all’amore con te.
| How nice it was to make love with you.
|
| Com’era bello averti
| How nice it was to have you
|
| E pensare potesse forse essere per sempre.
| And to think it could possibly be forever.
|
| L’interminabile solitudine del sentirsi soli
| The interminable loneliness of feeling alone
|
| A volte gioca brutti scherzi.
| Sometimes he plays tricks.
|
| Un giorno credi vada tutto bene,
| One day you think everything is fine,
|
| E l’indomani vorresti ucciderti.
| And the next day you would like to kill yourself.
|

|
| Per sempre cosa?
| Forever what?
|
| Guardati intorno
| Look around
|
| E dimmi se c'è qualcosa che possa mai durar per sempre.
| And tell me if there is anything that can ever last forever.
|
| Tutto quanto è destinato a scomparire.
| Everything is destined to disappear.
|
| E questa è una società caduca,
| And this is a fleeting society,
|
| Checché ne dicano Marx o Weber.
| Whatever Marx or Weber say.
|
| Gesù, Giuseppe e Maria,
| Jesus, Joseph and Mary,
|
| Abbiate pietà dell' anima mia,
| Have mercy on my soul,
|
| Non si vive ogni giorno,
| You don't live every day,
|
| Non si può morire sempre. | You can't always die. |
