Velasquez (original)Velasquez (translation)
Ahi Velasquez, dove porti la mia vita? Ouch Velasquez, where are you taking my life?
Un fiore di campo si è impigliato fra le dita A wildflower got caught in my fingers
e tante stelle, tante nelle notti chiare and many stars, many on clear nights
e mille lune, mille dune da scoprire and a thousand moons, a thousand dunes to discover
Ahi Velasquez, non ti avessi mai seguito Ouch Velasquez, I never followed you
con te non si torna una volta sola indietro with you you do not go back once
in mezzo ai venti sempre genti da salvare in the midst of the winds there are always people to be saved
sei morto mille volte senza mai morire you have died a thousand times without ever dying
Un vecchio zingaro ungherese An old Hungarian gypsy
di te parlando mi giurò speaking of you he swore to me
che c’eri prima di suo padre who were there before his father
prima del padre di suo padre before his father's father
più in là nel tempo non andò later in time it did not go
i cerchi del tuo tronco sono the circles of your trunk are
ferite di armi e di parole wounds of arms and words
che mai nessuno vendicò that no one ever avenged
Ahi Velasquez, com'è duro questo amore Ouch Velasquez, how hard this love is
mi pesa la notte prima di ricominciare weighs me down the night before starting over
e tante veglie, come soglie di un mistero and many vigils, like thresholds of a mystery
per arrivare sempre più vicino al vero to get ever closer to the truth
Ahi Velasquez certe sere quanta voglia Ahi Velasquez some evenings how much I want
fermare la vela e ritornare da mia moglie stop the sail and go back to my wife
e tu mi dici: «Fatti scrivere», è normale, and you tell me: "Get written", it's normal,
per te bisogna solo scrivere e lottare for you you just have to write and fight
E la tempesta ci sorprese And the storm surprised us
due miglia dopo Capo Horn two miles after Cape Horn
se ne rideva delle offese he laughed at the offenses
in mezzo al ponte si distese in the middle of the bridge he stretched out
e fino all’alba mi cantò and until dawn he sang to me
ragazze, terre, contadini girls, lands, peasants
da sempre popoli e padroni always peoples and masters
fu lì che tutto cominciò it was there that it all began
Ahi Velasquez, fino a quando inventeremo Ahi Velasquez, until we invent
un nido di rose ai piedi dell’arcobaleno a nest of roses at the foot of the rainbow
e tante stelle, tante nelle notti chiare and many stars, many on clear nights
per questo mondo, questo mondo da cambiare? for this world, this world to change?
Ahi Velasquez ahi chitarra come spada Ahi Velasquez ahi guitar as a sword
mantello di sabbia orecchio mozzo antica sfida cloak of sand ear hub ancient challenge
eterna attesa corda tesa da spezzare eternal waiting for a tight rope to break
e tanta voglia, tanta voglia di tornareand a great desire, a great desire to return
