| Era cresciuta in fretta
| She had grown up fast
|
| pi? | pi? |
| di qualche stagione fa.
| a few seasons ago.
|
| Sognava a testa bassa
| She dreamed with her head down
|
| tra i respiri della citt?.
| between the breaths of the city ?.
|
| Vorrei, vorrei, chiss? | I would, I would like, who knows? |
| cosa mai vorrei.
| what ever I would like.
|
| Pregava spegnendo la luce.
| She prayed while turning off the light.
|
| Lui era nato al porto
| He was born in the port
|
| ma non era partito mai.
| but he had never left.
|
| Sempre col fiato corto
| Always short of breath
|
| rimandava il domani a poi.
| she put off tomorrow until later.
|
| Di lei, di lei, diceva non morirei,
| Of her, of her, he said I would not die,
|
| ma poi non ci dormiva la notte.
| but then she didn't sleep there at night.
|
| Notte improvvisa, domenica spesa
| Sudden night, spent Sunday
|
| tra novit?.
| between news.
|
| Ridono insieme s'? | They laugh together s'? |
| arresa l’attesa,
| given up the wait,
|
| sar? | sar? |
| chiss?.
| who knows?
|
| Ed eccoli qui giocando a sognare
| And here they are playing to dream
|
| a dirsi promesse, a darsi parole,
| to say promises, to give each other words,
|
| a farsi l’amore.
| to make love.
|
| Aria di mezzanotte
| Midnight air
|
| fra un minuto? | in a minute? |
| gi? | already |
| lunedi
| Monday
|
| l’alba ha le scarpe rotte
| dawn has broken shoes
|
| ma tra poco sar? | but soon it will be? |
| gi? | already |
| qui.
| here.
|
| Vedrai, vedrai, accendono la citt?
| Will you see, will you see, they light up the city?
|
| e spengono insieme la notte.
| and extinguish the night together.
|
| Notte che passa, ma resta la festa
| Night that passes, but the party remains
|
| finch? | until |
| sar?
| sar?
|
| forse per gioco | perhaps for fun |
