Lyrics of Quanto eri bello - Maria Antonietta

Quanto eri bello (original)

Quanto stavo bene quando ascoltavamo Wilco in autostrada per casa mia
Ed io ripenso ai giorni del liceo quando studiavo Kant
A quanto mi sentivo sola a quanto lo sono ancora
Ma quanto eri bello io volevo solo portarti a letto
Ma quanto eri bello io volevo solo portarti a letto
In fondo noi due non ci conosciamo
Allora perché mai ti ho pensato tutta quanta la sera qui a milano
Che nevicava forte su porta ticinese
Avrei voluto solo dirti che
La sola cosa al mondo che volevo
Era essere felice ad ogni costo
Era essere felice ad ogni costo
Era essere felice ad ogni costo
Ma bevo il martini con l’aspirina
Abbracciata a un uomo che non assomiglia a te
Quello che dice e quello che pensa
Quando mi tocca non mi tocca come te
Ma quanto era bello io volevo solo portarlo a letto
E la sola cosa al mondo
Che volevo era essere felice ad ogni costo

(translation)

How good I was when we listened to Wilco on the highway by my house
And I think back to the high school days when I studied Kant
To how lonely I felt to how I still am
But how beautiful you were I just wanted to take you to bed
But how beautiful you were I just wanted to take you to bed
After all the two of us do not know each other
So why did I think about you all night here in Milan
It was snowing heavily on Porta Ticino
I just wanted to tell you that
The only thing in the world I wanted
It was being happy at any cost
It was being happy at any cost
It was being happy at any cost
But I drink the martini with aspirin
Embraced by a man who doesn't look like you
What he says and what he thinks
When he touches me he doesn't touch me like you do
But how beautiful he was I just wanted to take him to bed
It's the only thing in the world
What I wanted was to be happy at any cost
