Ebano(original) |
| Sono nata dove la pioggia porta ancora il profumo dell’ebano |
| Una terra là dove il cemento ancora non strangola il sole |
| Tutti dicevano che ero bella come la grande notte africana |
| E nei miei occhi splendeva la luna, mi chiamavano la Perla Nera… |
| A sedici anni mi hanno venduta, un bacio a mia madre e non mi sono voltata |
| Nella città con le sue mille luci per un attimo mi sono smarrita… |
| Così laggiù ho ben presto imparato che i miei sogni eran solo illusioni |
| E se volevo cercare fortuna dovevo lasciare ogni cosa |
| Ebano… |
| Jack O’s bar, Parade hotel, from me une |
| Ebano… |
| Spesi tutto quello che avevo per il viaggio e per i miei documenti |
| A Palermo nel '94 eravamo più di cento giù al porto… |
| Raccoglievo le arance e i limoni in un grande campo in collina |
| Lavoravo fino a notte inoltrata per due soldi e una stanza nascosta |
| Ebano… |
| It’s a long long night |
| It’s a long long time |
| It’s a long long road |
| Ebano… |
| Poi un giorno sono scappata verso Bologna con poca speranza |
| Da un’amica mi sono fermata, in cerca di nuova fortuna |
| Ora porto stivali coi tacchi e la pelliccia leopardata |
| E tutti sanno che la Perla Nera rende felici con poco… |
| Ebano… |
| Jack O’s bar, Parade hotel, for me une |
| Ebano… |
| Ebano… |
| It’s a long long night |
| It’s a long long time |
| It’s a long long road |
| Ebano… |
| Perciò se passate a Bologna, ricordate qual è la mia storia |
| Lungo i viali verso la sera, ai miei sogni non chiedo più nulla |
| Ebano… |
| (translation) |
| I was born where the rain still carries the scent of ebony |
| A land where the concrete still does not strangle the sun |
| Everyone said I was as beautiful as the great African night |
| And in my eyes the moon was shining, they called me the Black Pearl ... |
| At sixteen they sold me, a kiss to my mother and I didn't turn around |
| In the city with its thousand lights for a moment I got lost ... |
| So I soon learned there that my dreams were only illusions |
| And if I wanted to seek my fortune, I had to leave everything behind |
| Ebony… |
| Jack O’s bar, Parade hotel, from me une |
| Ebony… |
| I spent everything I had on travel and my documents |
| In Palermo in '94 we were more than a hundred down at the port ... |
| I collected oranges and lemons in a large field in the hills |
| I worked late into the night for two pennies and a hidden room |
| Ebony… |
| It's a long long night |
| It's a long long time |
| It's a long long road |
| Ebony… |
| Then one day I ran away to Bologna with little hope |
| I stopped by a friend, looking for new luck |
| Now I'm wearing high-heeled boots and leopard fur |
| And everyone knows that the Black Pearl makes you happy with little ... |
| Ebony… |
| Jack O’s bar, Parade hotel, for me une |
| Ebony… |
| Ebony… |
| It's a long long night |
| It's a long long time |
| It's a long long road |
| Ebony… |
| So if you go to Bologna, remember what my story is |
| Along the avenues towards the evening, I don't ask for anything more from my dreams |
| Ebony… |
