I Commedianti (original)I Commedianti (translation)
Fu una notte di neve It was a snowy night
Una notte che intorno One night I was around
Ci sono gli elfi e i nani; There are elves and dwarves;
Una notte che nel porto Stayed one night in the harbor
Di Malmoe stridevano Of Malmoe they screeched
Forte i gabbiani: Strong the seagulls:
La notte che mio padre The night my father
Ammazzava il maiale He killed the pig
Ed eravamo in tanti And we were many
Che per la prima volta That's for the first time
Nella mia vita vidi In my life I saw
I commedianti The comedians
Avevo dodici anni I was twelve
Un bastone per le oche A stick for the geese
Nessuna ragazza: No girl:
Mi sembraron giganti They seemed giants to me
Sollevati dal suolo Lift off the ground
Nel fondo della piazza; At the bottom of the square;
E come per incanto And as if by magic
Sparirono le case The houses disappeared
Sparì tutta la gente; All the people disappeared;
E fu come se al mondo And it was as if in the world
A parte io e loro Except them and me
Non ci fosse più niente… There was nothing left ...
Li avrei seguiti allora I would have followed them then
Li avrei seguiti ovunque I would have followed them everywhere
Li avrei seguiti in capo al mondo I would have followed them to the end of the world
Ma ero soltanto un bambino But I was only a child
E non potevo fare di più; And I couldn't do more;
Si persero nel buio They got lost in the dark
Si persero nella notte They got lost in the night
Nella voce di mia madre In my mother's voice
Che mi gridava di tornare indietro Who was yelling at me to go back
E non sarei tornato più And I would never come back
Perchè chiudevano il tempo Because they closed time
In una scatola d’oro In a gold box
E non so cosa avrei dato And I don't know what I would have given
Per partire con loro To leave with them
Li rividi da uomo I saw them again as a man
Che era appena finita That was just over
La guerra dei trent’anni; The Thirty Years War;
Preparano il palco They prepare the stage
La sera per la festa In the evening for the party
Di San Giovanni: Of San Giovanni:
E mi prese dal cuore And she took me from her heart
Di quand’ero ragazzo When I was a boy
La stessa emozione The same emotion
Come quando ricordi Like when you remember
Le parole che hai perso The words you have lost
Di una canzone… Of a song ...
Li avrei seguiti sempre I would always follow them
Li avrei seguiti ovunque I would have followed them everywhere
In mezzo al cielo, in fondo al mare In the middle of the sky, at the bottom of the sea
Se non avessi avuto un figlio If I hadn't had a child
E una donna da amare; And a woman to love;
Così li vidi partire So I saw them leave
E li lasciai partire And I let them go
Perchè dovevo scegliere Why I had to choose
Fra dividere il cuore Between sharing the heart
E fuggire con loro And run away with them
Che nascondevano il tempo That hid time
In una sera infinita In an endless evening
A beffare il destino To mock fate
E a inventare la vita And to invent life
Ora non ho più niente Now I have nothing left
Mi porta in giro il tempo It takes me around time
Come una foglia morta Like a dead leaf
Ora che vi rivedo Now that I see you again
Forse per l’ultima volta; Perhaps for the last time;
Le luci sono spente The lights are out
La vita è finalmente Life is finally
L’ombra di là, di un sogno: The shadow beyond, of a dream:
Adesso, questo è il momento Now, this is the time
Di non lasciarvi mai più: Never to leave you again:
Se sono ancora in tempo If I still have time
Prendetemi per mano Take me by the hand
Commedianti, vi prego Comedians, please
Portatemi lontanoTake me away
