| I segni delle mie fatiche e dei riguardi
| The signs of my efforts and regards
|
| per la piet? | for the pity? |
| domata in fondo a certi sguardi
| tamed at the bottom of certain looks
|
| e i segni — amari — dei piaceri sopportati
| and the signs - bitter - of the pleasures endured
|
| tiepide docce li hanno lavati e cancellati
| lukewarm showers washed and wiped them
|
| per restituiri ad una razza triste
| to give you back to a sad race
|
| cui s? | which s? |
| appartiene e lo si sa:
| it belongs and you know it:
|
| siamo nudi e soli?
| are we naked and alone?
|
| Ma un uomo-camion vive ancora in me
| But a man-truck still lives in me
|
| e ancora mille strade ti aprir?
| and still a thousand roads will open for you?
|
| in questo oceano di attimi sar?
| in this ocean of moments it will be?
|
| qui per te, qui per te.
| here for you, here for you.
|
| Un uomo-camion che ti porter?
| A man-truck who will take you?
|
| tra notti e ghiacci ti dondoler?
| between nights and ice will I rock you?
|
| e la sua radiolina suoner?
| and his radio will play him?
|
| qui per te — e — e — e — e — e —
| here for you - and - and - and - and - and -
|
| E da quei viaggi avrai
| And from those trips you will have
|
| una ruga in pi?, ma anche un po? | one more wrinkle, but also a little? |
| di sole?
| of Sun?
|
| da, da, da, da, da;
| from, from, from, from, from;
|
| e la sua radiolina suoner?
| and his radio will play him?
|
| qui per te, qui per te puoi fargli compagnia se lo vuoi? | here for you, here for you can you keep him company if you want? |
