Novecento (original)Novecento (translation)
Dicono che quei cieli siano adatti They say those skies are suitable
al cavalli e che le strade to the horses and that the streets
siano polvere di palcoscenico are stage dust
Dicono che nelle case donne pallide They say that in homes pale women
sopra la vecchia Singer cuciano over the old Singer they sew
gli spolverini di percalle, the percale dusters,
abiti che contro il vento stiano tesi clothes that are stretched against the wind
e tutto il resto siano balle, and all the rest are lies,
vecchio lavoro da cinesi eh eh old Chinese job huh huh
Dicono che quella vecchia canzoncina They say that old ditty
dellottocento fa sorridere of the nineteenth century makes you smile
in un dolce sogno certe bambole in a sweet dream certain dolls
tutte trafitte da una freccia indiana, all pierced by an Indian arrow,
ricordi del secolo prima, roba di unepoca lontana, memories of the century before, stuff from a distant time,
epoca intravista nel bagliore bianco era glimpsed in the white glow
che spara il lampo di magnesio that fires the flash of magnesium
sul rosso folle del manganesio.on the crazy red of manganesium.
eh eh eh eh
Indacato era il silenzio e il Grande Spirito, Indacato was silence and the Great Spirit,
che rellentava la brina, scacciava which slowed down the frost, chased away
i corvi dalla collina the crows from the hill
come una vecchia cuoca in una cucina like an old cook in a kitchen
sgrida i fantasmi del buongustai scold the ghosts of the gourmet
in una lenta cantilena in a slow chant
Lasciamo stare, lasciamo perdere, lasciamo andare Let it go, let it go, let it go
non lo sappiamo doveravamo we don't know we had to
in quel mattino da vedere eh eh in that morning to see huh huh
Doveravamo mai in quel mattino We never had to in that morning
quando correva il novecento when the twentieth century ran
le grandi gare di mocassino the great moccasin competitions
lass, sui palcoscenico pleistocenico, up there, on the Pleistocene stage,
sullaltopiano preistorico on the prehistoric plateau
prima vulcanico e poi galvanico first volcanic and then galvanic
dicono che sia tutta una vaniglia, they say it's all vanilla,
una grande battaglia, a great battle,
una forte meraviglia eh eh a strong wonder huh huh
Galvanizzato il vento spalancava Galvanized the wind opened wide
tutti i garages e liberava grossi motori entusiamati all the garages and released big enthusiastic engines
la paglia volteggiava nellaria gialla straw fluttered in the yellow air
pi su del regno delle aquile higher than the kingdom of eagles
dove laereo scintilla where the plane sparkles
laereo scintillava come gli occhi the plane sparkled like the eyes
del ragazzi che, randagi, of the boys who, strays,
lo guardavano tra i rami del ciliegi ehehthey looked at him among the branches of the cherry trees hehe
