Translation of the song lyrics Testaccio Blues - Tiromancino

Testaccio Blues (original)

Non eri facile, Roberto
Eri testardo, ma eri tu
Con le tue note fermavi il tempo
Sospeso in quel Testaccio blues
Parlavi poco del futuro
E non ridevi quasi mai
Sotto il cappello lo sguardo scuro
Di chi pensa ai cazzi suoi
E se adesso sono qui
È stata un po' anche colpa tua
Perché ho capito che la musica è vita
Da allora non è più andata via
Non eri facile, Roberto
Eri testardo ma eri tu
Con le tue note resti nel vento
Sospeso in quel Testaccio Blues

Testaccio Blues (translation)

You weren't easy, Roberto
You were stubborn, but it was you
With your notes you stopped time
Suspended in that Testaccio blues
You spoke little of the future
And you hardly ever laughed
Under the hat the dark look
Of those who think about their cocks
What if I'm here now
It was partly your fault too
Because I understood that music is life
She hasn't left since
You weren't easy, Roberto
You were stubborn but it was you
With your notes you stay in the wind
Suspended in that Testaccio Blues
