Ma come fanno i marinai (original)Ma come fanno i marinai (translation)
Ma dove vanno i marinai But where do the sailors go
con le loro giubbe bianche with their white jackets
sempre in cerca di una rissa o di un bazar. always looking for a fight or a bazaar.
Ma dove vanno i marinai But where do the sailors go
con le loro facce stanche with their tired faces
sempre in cerca di una bimba da baciar. always looking for a baby to kiss.
Ma cosa fanno i marinai But what do the sailors do
quando arrivano nel porto when they arrive in the port
vanno a prendersi l’amore dentro al bar they go to get love in the bar
qualcuno vivo per fortuna luckily someone alive
qualcuno morto someone dead
c' una vedova da andare a visitar. there is a widow to visit.
Ma come fanno i marinai But like sailors do
a riconoscere le stelle to recognize the stars
sempre uguali sempre quelle always the same always those
all’Equatore e al Polo Nord at the Equator and the North Pole
ma come fanno i marinai but like sailors do
a baciarsi tra di loro to kiss each other
a rimanere veri uomini perІ. to remain real men though.
Intorno al mondo senza amore Around the world without love
come un pacco postale like a parcel post
senza nessuno che gli chiede come va with no one asking him how he's doing
col cuore appresso a una donna with his heart next to a woman
una donna senza cuore a heartless woman
chiss se ci pensano ancora, chiss. who knows if they still think about it, who knows.
Ma dove vanno i marinai But where do the sailors go
mascalzoni imprudenti imprudent rascals
con la vita nei calzoni with the waist in his trousers
col destino in mezzo ai denti with fate between the teeth
sotto la luna puttana e il cielo che sorride under the whore moon and the smiling sky
come fanno i marinai like sailors do
con questa noia che li uccide with this boredom that kills them
addormentati sopra un ponte fall asleep on a bridge
in fondo a malincuore basically reluctantly
sognano un ritorno smaltiscono un liquore they dream of a return they dispose of a liqueur
affaticati dalla vita piena di zanzare fatigued by life full of mosquitoes
che cosa gliene frega what do they care
di trovarsi in mezzo al mare to be in the middle of the sea
a un mare che pi№ passa il tempo to a sea that more time passes
e pi№ non sa di niente and more does not know anything
su questa rotta inconcludente on this inconclusive route
da Genova a New York from Genoa to New York
ma come fanno i marinai but like sailors do
a fare a meno della gente to do without people
e rimanere veri uomini perІ. and remain true men though.
Intorno al mondo senza amore Around the world without love
come un pacco postale like a parcel post
senza nessuno che gli chiede come va with no one asking him how he's doing
col cuore appresso a una donna with his heart next to a woman
una donna senza cuore a heartless woman
chiss se ci pensano ancora, chiss …who knows if they still think about it, who knows ...
