Lyrics of Uomo Camion - Paolo Conte

Uomo Camion (original)

I segni delle mie fatiche e dei riguardi
per la piet?
domata in fondo a certi sguardi
e i segni — amari — dei piaceri sopportati
tiepide docce li hanno lavati e cancellati
per restituiri ad una razza triste
cui s?
appartiene e lo si sa:
siamo nudi e soli?
Ma un uomo-camion vive ancora in me
e ancora mille strade ti aprir?
in questo oceano di attimi sar?
qui per te, qui per te.
Un uomo-camion che ti porter?
tra notti e ghiacci ti dondoler?
e la sua radiolina suoner?
qui per te — e — e — e — e — e —
E da quei viaggi avrai
una ruga in pi?, ma anche un po?
di sole?
da, da, da, da, da;
e la sua radiolina suoner?
qui per te, qui per te puoi fargli compagnia se lo vuoi?

(translation)

The signs of my efforts and regards
for the pity?
tamed at the bottom of certain looks
and the signs - bitter - of the pleasures endured
lukewarm showers washed and wiped them
to give you back to a sad race
which s?
it belongs and you know it:
are we naked and alone?
But a man-truck still lives in me
and still a thousand roads will open for you?
in this ocean of moments it will be?
here for you, here for you.
A man-truck who will take you?
between nights and ice will I rock you?
and his radio will play him?
here for you - and - and - and - and - and -
And from those trips you will have
one more wrinkle, but also a little?
of Sun?
from, from, from, from, from;
and his radio will play him?
here for you, here for you can you keep him company if you want?
