Translation of the song lyrics Le parole - Umberto Tozzi

Le parole (original)

Le parole contano dille piano tante volte rimangono
fanno male anche se dette per rabbia
si ricordano si ricordano.
Le parole quante volte rimangono le parole
feriscono le parole ti cambiano
ti bastava anche un filo di voce per dirmi ti amo
ma quante volte mi hai urlato sul viso che valevo poco.
Mi sentivo un bambino immaturo e magari ero un uomo
ti credevo una donna importante eri donna a met?.
Dimmi che rimane di noi due dimmi hi ci riavviciner?
a te sembrava un gioco bello se dura poco
era una cena fredda da consumarsi in fretta.
A te sembrava un gioco bello se dura poco
era una cena fredda che hai consumato in fretta.
Le parole mordono hanno fame come i cani ti ringhiano
dentro il cuore fanno male e si insinuano ti consumano ti divorano.
Le parole fanno danni invisibili sono note che aiutano e che la notte confortano
quante volte leggere e preziose me le hai sussurrate
ma altre volte mi hai dato del pazzo se di te morivo.
Mi sentivo un bambino immaturo e magari ero un uomo
ti credevo una donna importante eri donna a met?.
Dimmi che rimane di noi due dimmi chi ci riavviciner?
a te sembrava un gioco bello se dura poco
era una cena fredda da consumarsi in fretta.
A te sembrava un gioco bello se dura poco
era una cena fredda che hai consumato in fretta.

Le parole (translation)

Words matter, say it softly, so many times they stay
they hurt even if said out of anger
they remember they remember.
The words how many times are the words left
hurt words change you
even a faint voice was enough to tell me I love you
but how many times have you screamed in my face that I was worth little.
I felt like an immature child and maybe I was a man
I thought you were an important woman you were half a woman ?.
Tell me what's left of the two of us tell me hi will we get closer?
to you it seemed like a nice game if it doesn't last long
it was a cold dinner to be eaten quickly.
To you it seemed like a good game if it didn't last long
it was a cold dinner you ate quickly.
Words bite hungry like dogs growl at you
inside the heart they hurt and they creep they consume you they devour you.
Words do invisible damage are notes that help and comfort at night
how many times read and precious have you whispered them to me
but other times you called me crazy if I died of you.
I felt like an immature child and maybe I was a man
I thought you were an important woman you were half a woman ?.
Tell me what's left of the two of us tell me who's gonna bring us closer?
to you it seemed like a nice game if it doesn't last long
it was a cold dinner to be eaten quickly.
To you it seemed like a good game if it didn't last long
it was a cold dinner you ate quickly.
