Wow, that's quite a long song
And I've never heard of it (for a change), but it looks really good! As you can see I don't listen to Italian music much but since I speak the language- in fact it's my first language- I'm only too happy to translate these songs for you. There you go:
se bastasse una bella canzone
If a good song was enough
a far piovere amore
to make it rain love
si potrebbe cantarla un milione
we could sing it a million
un milione di volte
a million times
(se) bastasse gia
if it was enough
(se) bastasse gia
if it was enough
non ci vorrebbe poi tanto a imparare ad amare di piu
we wouldn't need much to learn to love more
se bastasse una vera canzone
if a true song was enough
per convincere gli altri
to convince other people
si potrebbe cantarla piu forte
we could sing it louder
visto che sono in tanti
since they're many people
fosse cosi fosse cosi
if that was the case, if that was the case
non si dovrebbe lottare per farsi sentire di piu
we wouldn't have to fight to be heard more
se bastasse una buona canzone
if a good song was enough
a far dare una mano
to make people help each other
si potrebbe trovarla nel cuore
we could find it in our hearts
senza andare lontano
without going too far
bastasse gia bastasse gia
if it was enough, if it was enough
non ci sarebbe bisogno di chiedere la carita
there wouldn't be any need to beg
dedicato a tutti quelli che
dedicated to all those who
sono allo sbando
are going off the rails
dedicato a tutti quelli che
dedicated to all those who
non hanno avuto ancora niente
haven't had anything yet
e sono ai margini da sempre
and who have always been left out
dedicato a tutti quelli che
dedicated to all those who
stanno aspettando
are waiting
dedicato a tutti quelli che
dedicated to all those who
rimangono dei sognatori
remain dreamers
per questo sempre piu da soli
and for that are getting lonelier and lonelier
se bastasse una grande canzone
if a great song was enough
per parlare di pace
to talk about peace
si potrebbe chiamarla per nome
we could call it by name
aggiungendo una voce
adding a voice to it
e un'altra poi e un'altra poi
and another one and another one
finche diventa di un solo colore piu vivo che mai
until it turns into one colour more vivid than ever
dedicato a tutti quelli che
dedicated to all those who
sono allo sbando
are going off the rails
dedicato a tutti quelli che
dedicated to all those who
hanno provato ad inventare
have tried to invent
una canzone per cambiare
a song to change things
dedicato a tutti quelli che
dedicated to all those who
stanno aspettando
are waiting
dedicato a tutti quelli che
dedicated to all those who
venuti su con troppo vento
(?) I don't understand this last sentence, literally it means 'brought up with too much wind' but I think it has an allegorical meaning and so maybe it should be interpreted like this '(to all those who) have been brought up in the middle of political turmoil' or something like that.
good song but I understand it's a bit difficult maybe because of the impersonal form that is used in it... If you are acquainted with Italian grammar you probably know what I'm talking about, it's that 'si' which appears all the time in this song and which doesn't exist in English but can be translated as 'we' this and 'we' that (like I did)... Yes indeed it's difficult, everything about the Italian language is, but if you have any problems contact me anytime ok?
