Translation of the song lyrics Gioco d'azzardo - Paolo Conte

Gioco d'azzardo (original)

Cera fra noi un gioco dazzardo
ma miente ormai nel lungo sguardo
spiega qualcosa,
forse soltano
certe parole sembrano pianto,
sono salate, sonno di mare
chiss, tra noi, si trattava damore
Ma non parlo di te, io parlo daltro
il gioco era miio, lucido e scaltro
Io parlo di me, di me che ho goduto
di me che ho amato
e che ho perduto
E trovo niente da dire o da fare
Per tra noi si trattava damore
Cera fra noi un giocco dazzardo,
giocco di vita, duro e bugiardo
Perch volersi e desiderarsi
facente finta di essere persi
Adesso tardi e dico soltanto
che si trattava damore, e non sai quanto

(translation)

There was a game of chance between us
but I am now in the long gaze
explain something,
maybe only
some words seem like tears,
they are salty, sea sleep
who knows, between us, it was love
But I'm not talking about you, I'm talking on the other side
the game was fine, lucid and shrewd
I speak of me, of me that I have enjoyed
of me that I loved
and that I have lost
And I find nothing to say or do
For us it was love
There was a game of chance between us,
game of life, hard and liar
Because wanting and desiring oneself
pretending to be lost
Late now and I'm just saying
that it was love, and you don't know how much
