| Cera fra noi un gioco dazzardo
| There was a game of chance between us
|
| ma miente ormai nel lungo sguardo
| but I am now in the long gaze
|
| spiega qualcosa,
| explain something,
|
| forse soltano
| maybe only
|
| certe parole sembrano pianto,
| some words seem like tears,
|
| sono salate, sonno di mare
| they are salty, sea sleep
|
| chiss, tra noi, si trattava damore
| who knows, between us, it was love
|
| Ma non parlo di te, io parlo daltro
| But I'm not talking about you, I'm talking on the other side
|
| il gioco era miio, lucido e scaltro
| the game was fine, lucid and shrewd
|
| Io parlo di me, di me che ho goduto
| I speak of me, of me that I have enjoyed
|
| di me che ho amato
| of me that I loved
|
| e che ho perduto
| and that I have lost
|
| E trovo niente da dire o da fare
| And I find nothing to say or do
|
| Per tra noi si trattava damore
| For us it was love
|
| Cera fra noi un giocco dazzardo,
| There was a game of chance between us,
|
| giocco di vita, duro e bugiardo
| game of life, hard and liar
|
| Perch volersi e desiderarsi
| Because wanting and desiring oneself
|
| facente finta di essere persi
| pretending to be lost
|
| Adesso tardi e dico soltanto
| Late now and I'm just saying
|
| che si trattava damore, e non sai quanto | that it was love, and you don't know how much |
